Default Made my OWN RICE FLOUR

Arri---"Hoki"? Never heard of that one. What is it like? Where is it
found?

I lived in the Caribbean for a few years and ate all kinds of tropical
fish BIG that I had only seen in aquariums, previously, quite small.
Angel fish, Parrot fish, Blue fish, Trunk fish...yum.

They have one they call a "Blue Runner" that is shaped like a trout, but
has these electric-blue stripes on it. It is as common as catfish and a
staple there. They make a sauce for fish called "Lime and butter sauce"
that is KILLER.

You melt some butter, slice a hot pepper very thin into it along with
onion and add the juice of three or four real limes (the round ones we
call, "Key" limes, not the phony big lemon shaped ones we grow in
America)

The Blue Runners are fried whole and the butter-lime sauce poured over
it. Traditionally, fish is served with "Fungi", which is sort of
like...grits, but made with yellow corn meal. There are little stands
here and there with signs that say, "Fish & Fungi!"

It's been quite a while back, but you could get a whole Blue Runner, the
fungi and a "johnnycake" for three bucks, LOL. Man, I LIVED on it.

Ive tried and tried to make the johnnycakes the way they do
there....never got close. It's basically a deep-fried biscuit...only,
somehow, they're very light and puffy, where mine always turn
out...well, let's just say they make great door stops.

Just bought some frozen hoki. Would that work in the fryer? Or better
used differently?
