Fish is one of those foods that people often avoid cooking at home. For some reason they feel it's too hard to cook and they don't know what to look for when purchasing fresh fish. Recently I conducted a cooking class that centred around the many types of fish and ways to cook it. We grilled it, roasted it, steamed it and baked it. Tilapia, Swordfish, Sea Bass, Red Snapper and Salmon were just a few of the many great types we sampled.
So when it came to purchasing my fish for the 14 class participants I went to the newest fish monger in town - Just An Olde Fashioned Butchery and Seafood. Bill's butcher shop has been around for awhile and is well known for it's great cuts of meat and the variety they stock but the seafood side is new.
Mike and the guys there were great and special ordered in the large quantities and types that I needed and were extremely helpful in getting the freshest fish possible for me. So if you're in the market for some great fish stop in at 165 Lakeshore Road East in Oakville, grab yourself some fish and then pop onto my website (www.thecookscompanion.ca) for some great fish recipes.
