Default Ocean Perch

I went to the local H-Mart (a really nice Korean market) to get
flounder--something I've never cooked. I had a bunch recipes idly
collected, including the piccata mentioned hereabouts.

The flounder was live, cost 17.95 a pound. Next to it, was fresh "Ocean
Perch" aka Pacific rockfish, among other names. It was pretty and 5.99
a pound. I got a one at two pounds. I asked that he clean and filet it.
He did his business while I looked at other ocean treasures.

Once home I opened it to find that it was cleaned but not fileted. I
did a really lame job of getting the head off and even more pathetic
job of fileting it, but what the hell, I managed to get the job done.
Also--I got another shot at fileting a fish, which I figured I'll be
pretty good at one day only if I do it anothe 40 times.

Slathered some olive oil and thyme on it, broiled it for a 3 minutes a
side. Tasty, easy (despite the filet job) and cheap. I'm going back
down to H-Mart again today.
