debithaEvery Tuesday a man with a van drives down to Chippenham from Grimsby, all stocked up with fresh fish, and parks conveniently over the road from my work.
So the other week I succumbed to curiosity and bought some halibut fillet. I have always feared cooking fish. Undercooking it is bad, and overcooking it is easy. But what the hell, right? To keep it simple I foil-baked it with lemon and a few capers (which I took off when I served it). Success! Served with potatoes boiled, sliced and fried with rock salt, pepper and fresh chives (and loads of butter).
Yesterday I got some catfish. I decided to do a quick internet recipe check before I cooked it, which was good. Catfish is pretty robust and gets cooked with quite tasty things, so I basted with lemon juice, worcester sauce and chilli pepper. Sadly I overcooked it a bit, but tasty! Served with baby potatoes tossed in lemon butter with basil.
On an entirely different note, I uploaded a song for the lovely Miss Scarlet, so might as well have it too. Learn to love Thea Gilmore.
Is is comedy? Is it tragedy?
You know my character witness just went down for perjury.
