Fish

[brigid]

I'm a pretty decent cook (and baker) but have no experience with fish other than "buy fish frozen, cook according to directions" or "open can of tuna, mix with mayo etc."

Do you have any helpful fish tips, advice, or instruction? Any favorite fish recipes, the simpler the better?

Oh yeah, another reason I don't fry things is we don't have an exhaust fan. The people who lived here before us also didn't have an exhaust fan but fried stuff. A lot. I can tell by looking at the paint on the walls. Urgh hurgh urgh.

Those are super helpful tips and I will totally keep them in mind.

Not having an exhaust fan is a problem. I discovered last week that I don't currently have a working one either! Must get that fixed.

We moved in before we could repaint the walls and they are... disgusting. Oppressive. I scrubbed them down and they are still... stained. And awful. I'm not sure how well primer will stick to them, frankly. It took serious work to get the cabinets and counters and stuff clean.

Bah.

When my friend moved into his grandmother's house (she fried something every meal) we ended up taking a tip from the people who clean up wildlife after an oil spill, and attacked everything in the kitchen with a heavy concentration of Dawn dish liquid in water. It was interesting getting everything rinsed, but it really broke down the crud.

Oh yeah. Good suggestion.
