[local eating] Fish share, week 3.3

[magid]

After three weeks when the boats couldn't go out, I got fish again. Yay! It's cod, though while I stood chatting with the guy at the distribution, everyone else was picking up shrimp (apparently it's fabulous shrimp...). Of possible interest to locals: after this season finishes, and they take some time off to consider what to do next (they've got lots of interest in more distribution points, for instance), the next share is likely to have both a whole (/gutted) fish option and a filleted fish option (presumably, for more).

The fate of this cod: filleted and skinned, the pieces topped with mayo-hummus-tandoori seasoning, with crumbs formed by adding white-wheat flour to the rest of the mixture, plus diced tomatoes around the fillets topped with black pepper and the oil from the end of a jar of sun-dried tomatoes in oil. I baked that at a bit more than 450 F for 12 minutes. The verdict: the tomatoes could have started before the fish, and I think I need more spices to season it, or more mayo and less hummus, for the milder flavor. Still, quite good texture, and fresh fish is always a happiness :-).

Oh, and I poached the carcass, and still have to pull the edible bits off. Fish something later this week.
