I not only think it is flavorless, I have issues with the texture. It always seems flaccid. I have tried it in many preparations and so far the only way I really enjoy it is ground up. I think it makes traditional chowder taste fishy, but the Thai soup idea is intriguing. I might try that next time. The share runs in eight week cycles and it is rare that we get pollock more than once as I think they know it is nobody’s favorite,

Sunday, scallop rolls and fries while watching the football game Monday I tried a recipe that I got in an email from the New York Times for slow roasted spicy salmon in olive oil with a cucumber feta salad. The spices were crushed fennel and coriander seeds, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. The recipe yielded very moist and tender salmon. I was less enthusiastic about the plating suggestion, which was to break the salmon up into big chunks and surround it with the cucumbers and feta. It would have looked nicer as one big piece. I'll probably use the oil poaching technique again though. Last night, Thai-flavored fish cakes (made with the dreaded pollock that my fish share sticks me with occasionally) with spicy cucumber salad and rice

Some dinners from this week. Tuesday, baked eggs with tomatoes, croutons and feta Wednesday, chicken tacos Thursday, chicken and cauliflower tikka masala

A couple of recent meals. Pasta with eggplant sauce Zoodles with parmesean cream sauce and roasted cherry tomatoes

Catching up on this week's meals. Monday, cheese souffles and salad I also made a batch of broccoli cheddar soup for lunches Wednesday, sausage, white bean and kale stew Thursday, sweet potato, black bean and poblano tacos Last night, to celebrate my five year cancer free get out of jail free from my oncologist, I made myself my favorite, sautéed mushrooms on crusty bread, using a mix of creminis and a fresh porcini I picked up at Eataly (I could only eat half haha, brain bigger than stomach) and I made my husband a big prime dry aged ribeye. There was a salad too, I swear! 🙂

A friend of my husband's gave him a black truffle so we ate it last night on pasta

Tuesday, "grilled" swordfish skewers (I did them on a stovetop grill pan as it is pitch dark here by 5PM at this time of year) with zucchini-baby kale-ricotta salata salad Last night, slow roasted salmon black rice bowl with a miso-mirin dressing

Do you have a link to the recipe for the chicken patties? They look like something I would enjoy. Last night, sandwiches. Banh mi made from some leftover chicken katsu for me Warm lobster rolls for husband

katsu chicken with tonkatsu sauce, rice and cabbage salad

pasta puttanesca with added cod

Eggplant and pesto panino Eggplant and bell pepper stir fry with garlic and Thai basil

I googled what zapienaki is, but what is the sauce on top of yours? From what I read the most popular topping is ketchup. It sounds like it would be delicious with no sauce at all... Last night, salmon tacos

When you join a share of any food you take the good with the bad. Today I got the bad from my fish share: pollock. I really dislike this fish. To me, it is bland, watery, and tasteless. I know it is local and abundant, and I have tried many recipes, but I just don't like it. Husband suggested fish reubens. They were improved greatly by a judicious application of a curry-scented hot sauce from my favorite Caribbean island that I have been hoarding since Irmaria stopped production over a year ago. Pollock blah, Valley Doll hot sauce, delicious.

sometimes you just need a big bowl of chicken soup

My fish share threw in some small cuts of salmon and some tail pieces for free this week, so I made them into salmon burgers with tomato chutney.

miso ramen with salmon

baked haddock, eggplant fries, and green beans

salmon lettuce cups, rice and smashed cucumber salad

Yes, that is very similar to the recipe I used. I swapped in cilantro and chile for the dill. Last night, flounder cooked in foil with cilantro, lemongrass, garlic and chile oyster sauce etc. over noodles with broccoli

It is a salmon cake. The recipe is from Andrea Nguyen's Banh Mi Handbook. I can't seem to find the recipe online.

I took pictures of my dinners last week but did not have time to post them until now. Spicy salmon sandwiches with pickled green tomatoes from my garden: Pasta fresca with some of the very last ripe tomatoes from the garden Roasted salmon tacos Fish and chips

I'm sorry to hear that. We thought it was really great. Was your food too salty? Ours was perfectly seasoned. Every place has an off night, I guess. I hope the rest of your meals in Bermuda were more enjoyable!
