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.

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.

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!)

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…?
