This turned out amazing. The key is using fresh fish. I use the tail section of the fillets. They are more even rather than a thick shoulder and a thin belly, and Sear way better. The squash noodles can be made with a food processor, a salad machine or several other hand operated gadgets. Some stores will make these as well.

cooking is a passion of mine. I started when I was very young and I had to drag a milk crate around to see over the counter. taught by a career cook (my grandmother ). I have always tried to push the boundaries of conventional cooking. I prefer cooking wild game. when I can get my hands on it, but fish is more readily available for me. I raise and butcher most of the livestock that I use for my conventional recipes. I hope everyone can find a few recipes they like in my list.
