Fish with Salsa and Welsh Rarebit.
Simon:
Leave it! :o:
Clive:
Today we bought Dover Sole. 8-)
GillE:
Isn't Dover sole posh plaice?
We eat a lot of mackerel. For decades His Lordship refused to eat fish or cheese. He used to say, "There's a good reason why The Lord put us on the land and the fish in the sea". I love fish, so I tried to tempt him with delicate white fish which wasn't too strongly flavoured. He hated it. Then one day we were in a restaurant and he surprised me by pinching a king prawn that was garnishing a plate of noodles I was trying to eat. "This is actually quite nice," he said, "It's got some flavour". Shocked, I realised that serving him the mildly flavoured fish had been exactly the wrong thing to do. So I tried him with mackerel fillets and he loved them! Later I devised this recipe which is based on something I ate once in a cafe when I was on holiday in Fleetwood. He loves this too!
So now he's eating fish and cheese in the same meal and enjoying every mouthful. I'm such a bad influence :devil: .
Rik:
I'm a recent convert to fish, Gill. The smell of school dinners put me off, but now I really enjoy a good piece of cod, plaice or haddock - the latter being my favourite. Being contrary, I've always liked smoked salmon and prawns. ;D
Clive:
I have to say that I am also a late convert to fish. The nicest fish I have ever tasted is called
Black Scabbard or Espada fish which is a speciality in Madeira. ESPADA FISH I can assure you it tastes much better than it looks! :laugh: The only shellfish I like is prawns but I dislike herring, pilchards, mackerel, sardines and any other pongy smellers. :laugh: I think you are correct about Dover sole being posh plaice Gill. When I turned to the "Blessed One" for an interesting recipe for plaice, she said to cook it the same way as sole.
