It’s a good day–I saw your name on food porn watch and was happy–but there’s actually TWO posts!

That looks wonderful, although I have to claim ignorance on the moonfish. What is it and do they catch it around here?

btw, no whey wine? that truly sucks… i assume you’ve tried it to see if it’s an exception, like maybe the alcohol kills the stuff that disagrees with you or something…?

Thanks, nic!

Kitchenmage: I just discovered moonfish myself when Chopper brought home this HUGE fillet of it from work. I mean HUGE-ass-HUGE, as in the size of a flattened Boston Terrier. This particular one came from Hawaii and was supposed to be a special on the menu till Chopper’s boss decided he had other plans. So, it came home with us. Oh darn.

Here’s a pretty picture of a Moonfish before it’s coated in panko.

As for whey wine — I hadn’t thought about that. Perhaps the alcohol will kill the evil enzymes. It’s worth a shot. (Or two or three!)

That’s a pretty fish. It says there’s four colors of flesh–does they taste different? A neighbor recently caught me a sturgeon, which I got to go butcher with him–two bucks a pound for a whole one–so we’ve had some nice Columbia River sturgeon lately.

If you make it down to the river, we’ll crack the bottle and try it.

All the fillet we have is the same color, I think, so I haven’t noticed any difference. Then again, Chopper keeps cooking it with all sorts of other yummy flavors that stand out as well, so maybe it’s just subtle.

Sturgeon! Oh, my! I think I’d have a hard time eating sturgeon. They are such elegant prehistoric creatures and they look so damn smart.

Someday we will make it to the river.

We're baaaaack!

We're not quite sure how it happened, but Belly Timber took a year-long hiatus. Yes, it was agony. The cats sought their revenge by clawing our rugs and peeing in our shoes. Sometimes, we went days without cooking and our kitchen appeared frighteningly clean. Shameful, shameful indeed.
