You didn't name it, but you're from the east, aren't you? (Or did I
flub another memory? :-/ )

I'll look for fish cubes locally, p'raps. No need to send although I
appreciate the offer.

Would you use more than one kind of fish in the recipe?

Do I want people to post recipes? Sure, why not? It's a cooking
group, according to its stated purpose and charter. Better posts about
recipes than most of the other crap that's so frequent here. I don't
like the rfc book being posted here as was being done; a number of
people articulated reasons agin it better than I could have and I agree
with what they said. I disagree with zxcvbob's objection about posting
recipes. When I read the group, I look at new thread subjects first
then frequently look to see what favorite posters have had to say about
it. I sometimes stop looking at the thread after about 5 replies, and I
sometimes don't start reading a thread until after about 20 replies. :-)
