Living hundreds of miles from the ocean, fresh fish was pretty much out
of the question for us when I was a kid. When I got older there seemed
to be more fresh fish available, but it was expensive. Now it is more
affordable. Deep fried was the most common way to have it and that
always seemed to disagree with me. When I was older and could afford to
eat out more often I started ordering fish in restaurants in order to
get ideas for ways to cook it.

I suppose I could find some exotic recipe for fish and claim it was my
favourite but the one I eat most often is salmon, usually grilled on
the gas BBQ. Season with a little salt and pepper and then sprinkle
with a little fresh dill weed. It goes great with a simple salad, some
nice fresh bread and a bottle of Gewurtztraminer.
