Title: I had a beautiful meal last night, but cannot recall the name of the fish
Post by: Handsome Jack on May 03, 2014, 01:34:41 PM: It was white and flaky. It was sublime and delicious, almost like that breast slice of a perfectly cooked turkey on Thanksgiving. It began with a "C", or maybe it was a "K". It was served on a bed of couscous with white asparagus and a hint of white sauce. The shades of pale on my plate made me want to weep with joy, the presentation alone stroking heartstrings I did not know I had.

What was it? I had never heard of it and cannot recall what the waiter told me.

* I posted this in the Open Pub too, but they are not sober enough there to answer.

Post by: caribougrrl on May 03, 2014, 05:26:45 PM: were the flakes large or small? do you remember if it was freshwater or ocean fish?

Post by: caribougrrl on May 03, 2014, 05:29:52 PM: was it dense? was it thick or thin?

was the piece fish-shaped or square/rectangular? (as in, was it a whole fillet or part of a fillet from a large fish?)

did it come with the skin?

Post by: Handsome Jack on May 03, 2014, 05:41:51 PM: *skin - check
*smallish steak, bit smaller than a swordfish steak "fish shaped", not a thin fillet or square like a piece of Talapia
*flaky in larger chunks, not small bits
*melt in your mouth consistency
*I'd bet good money it was of the ocean, but do not know for sure

Post by: cindyleigh on May 07, 2014, 09:29:52 PM: Years ago I had black cod in a restaurant that was the best tasting fish I've ever eaten.

I've had black cod several times since, but it wasn't the same....sometimes it wasn't even the same fish.

I think the fish naming thing is ...fishy.

Wow, that's an eye opener and explains a lot of my disappointing seafood experiences, I think. I had no idea.
