magidOfficially, the alternating week people were supposed to get whole fish, according to their email (hake), but I'd checked back over the weeks, and according to my count, I was due fillets. I emailed, and was given fillets (pollock). Yay!
I finally used the Goan fish curry spice mix, adding that to olive oil and pink grapefruit juice (instead of lemon, since I had enough grapefruit left still (from the spring share)). I cut the fish into chunks, and let it marinate overnight before cooking it at 450 F for 11 minutes (a bit less because the pieces were smaller). Interestingly, the texture is different, not as hard flakes. Kind of mushier, in a pleasant way. I'm not sure how much of that is the acid effect of the grapefruit juice, but it does make me want to try ceviche sometime. The spiciness is nicely balanced, too. The spice mix was spendy, but at least it was good.
Oh, and while the next share starts up in a couple of weeks, I didn't sign up, since I'd be away too many weeks. However, they've said they're likely to allow people to join pro-rated partway through, so I may do that in September. Time enough to think of that later, however.
