Have you seen the funny commercial lately showing a baby sitting in a high chair (I'm guessing). Someone gave it a lemon wedge. Baby takes a bite, shudders with a horrified face but then keeps trying to eat it and shudders each time. So funny to see and I still have no idea what they are advertising.  |

Most add a bit of sugar to tomato sauces to overcome the harshness. On another tack, why do restaurants always serve a lemon segment with fish? I never touch it, preferring to taste the fish as it is. |

Sometimes I use ponzu. i usually don't really want lemon plain on fish but i do like tartar sauce (homemade is best). i like the lemon in that. however, if the fish is good quality i much prefer it plain or with a very light garlic butter and some fresh dill. songbird |

I use tartar sauce only on deep-fried fish, which I very rarely eat. Usually it's grilled Atlantic salmon, which I like for its mild flavor. Cindy Hamilton |

My favorite way with most fish: - a small filet or two of most any fish - set skin side down on a foil lined sheet pan - spread a bit of mayo (it melts so all you get is a glaze) - add plenty of minced onion - squeeze of lemon on top Place underneath a broiler until the onions brown. Simple and delicious. |

However what I do is leave an opening in the wire fencing big enough to allow feral cats to pass... instantly no rodents... and birds keep away too... feral cats are patroling our vegetable garden constantly, most especially at night. |
