Well, it's quite a feeling of accomplishment to finally find a good recipe for fish and be able to successfully execute it. In the end it ended up being pretty and presentable too! I couldn't ask for more, so I felt the need to share this : ) I have to say New York City is not the place to experiment with seafood, especially not in your home kitchen. It might seem strange given it's an island surrounded by water! One trip to a local fish market explains why. The fish variety is quite different from the what I grew up with (catfish, snapper and red fish are rarely found.) Even tilapia, the cheapest and most common fish can't be found at times. But the biggest offense is the price of fish! It's almost shameful and definitely painful for the budget conscious shopper. I think the biggest trick is to travel to Chinatown where there are amazing seafood stalls and things are priced a bit like they might be outside of NYC. I hope to work up the courage and budget to try another great fish dish, but for now I'll be relishing in this success.
I'll leave you with a sunset over the Hudson( from a recent walk over the George Washington Bridge.)
