So I've learned something since living on the West Coast… (hopefully more than one thing, but we'll see.)
Apparently fish have "seasons"
As in, halibut is not always available whenever the mood should strike. And if you can find it, it will be super frozen, small, and expensive.
My dad asked the fish monger (his words, not mine) what a good alternative was and she suggested Basa. So we used that instead and now that's two things I've learned.
Well wouldja look at that.
You can look at it again here.
I have a surprise for you guys...
Can you tell what it is?
I got a new camera!!
Sort of.
Michael is letting me borrow his nice camera so I can take better quality bad pictures of the food I make. Uh soo nice! I definitely give him permission to marry my sister now.
This is the basa soaking in milk. Apparently this takes the fishy taste/smell away.
It looked pretty gross but I think it worked.
Cremaaaaa
See what I mean about bad pictures with a good camera?
I have gotten better, I promise (kind of)
And we'll end it with three not really good pictures of me trying to figure out how to make it look good at different angles.
So it was also around this time that I learned that blackened basically just meant burnt spices. I guess that's three things I learned, just with this one meal. I am such a liar.
This was actually really good. I don't really like fish and this was something I'd make and eat again. Basically anything with a yummy sauce is good so that didn't hurt. The recipe for the cream made way too much so you could probably cut it in half. Unless, like us, you decide that you want to put it on sandwiches for the next few days. Then go right ahead! We skipped the cilantro, garlic salt (we don't have it and didn't buy it) and also used regular yogurt instead of greek. Meh.
Stuck to the script: like pretty good. like 95%
