She was so lovely, the photo doesn't really do her justice. Pearly white with touches of pink and salmon color. Ms. Tilapia was destined to be dinner, but almost a shame to mess with such a work of art. This was my first time (after how many years of cooking? yikes!) doing a whole fish. Mostly, it must be said, because of Bob and his fish/bones fetish...er fear. But, since a recent
medical scare, we will be eating a lot more fish, beans, pasta, tofu and, yes ....SALAD. Sorry Bob.
Our
CSA providers, the lovely family at Ke Ola Farms, raise Tilapia in tanks, which then fertilize the veggies, so when you'd like a fish, they catch it, then put in another tank to purge for 24 or more hours. Just so it doesn't taste like the bottom of the barrel. And, this one didn't, of course. It was excellent. And, the bones were pretty easy to see, not lots of tiny ones.
