I probably shouldn't like it so much, but there's another Chinese restaurant that has red snapper baked with a typical sweet semi hot cornstarch laden sauce that is delicious. I think they bake it at a really high temperature and it's juicy and delicious and mixed with the sauce.... ahhh. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not near my house. Alas.

> Yes, that's true, I really shouldn't buy it. I'm just getting older and have to eat less meat, take Metamucil, etc., so I've been eating a lot more fish and fruit. The problem is that fish is expensive, and I could use tips on how to do that better. The cheap fish, like tilapia, I really don't like, but it's hard to keep buying stuff that's over ten bucks a pound....

I eat fish because I love most of it. All I can suggest is you keep
an eye on your local grocery store sales ads. You should be able to
find them online and you can sign up to have them sent to your email
address. If you have a separate freezer, buy fish when it is on sale,
wrap it well and freeze it.
