Contrary aren't I.

My partner is a passionate icthiophage, and I am learning to expand my piscatorial tastes. For example, tonight we had baked whole salmon, boiled potatoes, onion, tomato, green beans and spinach. :)

I'm similar to you with certain shellfish - I don't like anything too slimy or rubbery, or anything that resembles a bicycle repair kit!

Looking forward to the pics:)

Not sure the picky among you will like scallops, lol.

Haha... They'd likely sling you out on your ear:eyebrows:

Just getting across the point that Del's cooking adheres to classic French and Italian principles. Unless, of course, she's doing Asian!;)

Cheers, bro. Yeah, the local fishmonger:)

Btw, that fish finger thing was epic!
