Thanks DR Jeanne.

Keith likes Fish and Chips.  I am not sure I could go inside the Rebozo's location, the place simply meant too much to me.

I don't cook fish at home.  When we are out and tofu is not an option, which of course it usually isn't, I will order Salmon.  I like lemon or Dover Sole, however, I rarely see sole anymore unless it is stuffed with shellfish :P

Once, in London, I ordered fish, assuming it was filleted. It wasn't. It still had the head and tails. Ugh! I asked the server if she could remove them. Yes. Much better. Rather off-putting, I find.

Not looking forward to the 16-hour drive with the bird, but JB likes the folks.

At least there is an award at the end of the trip for JB.  I must have missed the part about your return visit.  Is this just a regular visit to check up on things or will you be getting their place ready to sell?

Maybe setting up home health care.

Have you asked to have it just grilled or sauted, without the filling? They should be able to do that, especially since so many people are allergic to shellfish.

I think my favorite is salt-baked fish served with a homemade mayonnaise on the side.

The presentation in Spain was glorious. Two men carried out the fish on a big slab. One used a hammer and chisel to break away the crust. They made it seem overwhelming. It was actually easy to make.

I feel the same way.  On our last trip the waiter filleted at the table with great pomp.  I was trying not to watch but I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Yes, if there isn't another option on the menu.

There is something I have never seen.  It sounds interesting.

I like most any kind of fish. Salmon, steelhead trout, sole, halibut, flounder--just give it to me. Lately, skate and monkfish are favorites. You don't need to do anything fancy, but I do like butter on top.

For years, I never had anything beyond the Friday fish sticks at school.  In my adult life I've grown to love quite a bit of seafood.  My problem is that I don't think to have it nearly as frequently as I'd like.

My dad had a boat from the tine I was 10. He got out of work at 4:3o and his job was only 2 miles  from home. By 5:30 he was on the water with one of more of the kids along.

We would crab, dig for clams, fish and bring the results home for dinner

Since meeting Vixdad I have grown to tolerate the occasional fish and chips, assuming there is plenty of tarter sauce and lemon around
