Exactly, and eat the leaves too... different leaves compliment different
fish... and don't forget that Asian markets sell leaves of seaweed.

Still poached, can wrap in saran and is still poached... with egg poachers
the eggs never go into the poaching water.

Whadaya 'spect... the only fish twilly knows is canned tuna... have you
ever seen anything he claims to have cooked... I thought not... neither have
I. Twilly just reads foodie stuff on the net and then boasts like he
actually did it himself... be very wary of anyone who claims to have
actually done everything they post about, those types rarely if ever have
done anything.

Many types of skinned and filleted fish (especially the dryer fleshed
fish... folks rarely poach oily fleshed fish anyway) will break up when
poached unless somehow contained, typically with leafy greens... but the
classic method is to rewrap fish in it's own skin. The traditional method
for making gefilte fish is to stuff the chopped/ground and seasoned fish
back into its whole skin and poach in a stock made with fish heads and
trimmings.

Now that the baboon ass faced liar learned something don't be surprised if
he doesn't wait a few months and then when the opportunity presents itself
will boast about how he poaches fish in leaves, even in its skin.... he's
such a lair, twilly has never made anything in a kitchen more involved than
opening a can of tuna... probably never goes into a kitchen, he orders his
schmoo to fetch his can of beer.
