I still don't like fish enough to do that. I'll make salmon or maybe
fish tacos on rare occasions, but mainly there's no fish in my kitchen
unless someone else cooks it. When we go out, I can order shellfish
or sweetbreads (hubby can't due to gout) and he can order whatever he
wants, which is usually either fish or steak.
