I must say, thanks to you and a few others, I am a devoted fan of Costco!!!!Libby https://www.blogger.com/profile/11556491482494737313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-6316285253691043082014-06-30T15:18:04.010-04:002014-06-30T15:18:04.010-04:00Halibut is a favorite here too.

I tried grouper for the first time earlier in the year and it was deliciously meaty, strangely.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-55411228783509933392014-06-29T20:47:26.516-04:002014-06-29T20:47:26.516-04:00You get it.

So we buy it frozen, just after it was caught, and it is really not bad but you have to season it and go with the flow. Once in awhile I get"fresh" halibut, a favorite in this house.lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-30814166125366985402014-06-29T20:39:47.643-04:002014-06-29T20:39:47.643-04:00Since you live part of the time in the islands, I ...Since you live part of the time in the islands, I know you appreciate what I am talking about.

We are fortunate to have a few good seafood markets where we buy our fish so I've never considered frozen. I'm happy to read though that flash frozen is an excellent alternative, thank you. Oh, and yes, if you are lucky to have them fresh herbs enliven anything. <br /><br />It is funny you should mention sauces. My father will never order any meat or fish dish at a restaurant if it is covered in sauce. According to him, sauces disguise inferior food.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-47258894270933972892014-06-29T06:28:08.106-04:002014-06-29T06:28:08.106-04:00Your flounder dish sounds divine and I adore cooki...Your flounder dish sounds divine and I adore cooking individual servings in what we call "boats" in our kitchen. I really like the tomato and panko idea with the fresh herb pesto. We can't exactly find fresh fish either just north of you in the mountains and rely on the fish market at our local grocery store. Not long ago we bought a side of frozen mahi-mahi and it was delicious, but as you said, nothing beats fresh-from-the-docks. <br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
