Jottage from Lancaster - A Fishy Dilemma 2
I decided on the Roast Fish Fillets with Roast Potatoes in the end. I had (almost) all the ingredients and I could add mushy squash as a vegetable (but with sweet potatoes instead of squash - it is Thanksgiving after all). The results were rather good. The sole, lemon was melting and the potatoes as crisp as you could wish for. I didn't cook as many potatoes as on the picture in the book - and in the end I forgot that bay leaves were still on my shopping list from the time I didn't buy the capers but here is the result. Definitely one to make again.

Fishmongers are useful people from whom to buy fish - as per Wikepedia - see below:
ReplyDeleteA fishmonger (fishwife for women practitioners - "wife" in this case used in its archaic meaning of "woman") is someone who sells fish and seafood. In some countries modern supermarkets are replacing fishmongers who operate in shops or fish markets.
Fishmongers can be wholesalers or retailers, and are trained at selecting and purchasing, handling, gutting, boning, filleting, displaying, merchandising and selling their product. In many places fishmongers, like butchers, are a dying breed. With the advent of many modern ways of distributing and packaging food, supermarkets often opt for less expensive alternatives to these trained, highly skilled professionals.
