So we have it once a week, at least.  Lately, I&#8217;ve been trying to change things up a bit, and so have been trying new recipes.  <\/p>\n<p>Some people don&#8217;t cook fish because they either don&#8217;t like it, don&#8217;t know how, or don&#8217;t want their house to smell like a catfish joint.  <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help you if you don&#8217;t like fish.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t help the smell that will pervade your house.<br \/>\nBut, I can help you make fish because it&#8217;s easy.<\/p>\n<p>First let me link to an article from Food and Wine about a chef named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/chefs\/cathal-armstrong\">Cathal Armstrong<\/a>.  He is the owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eamonnsdublinchipper.com\/\">Eamonn&#8217;s<\/a> in Alexandria, VA.  He&#8217;s an Irishman and grew up eating fish.  So, you can trust his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/battered-cod-with-marie-rose-sauce\">recipes<\/a> in the linked article to lead you in the right direction.  If you need any further proof, just look at the state of our table after we ate at his restaurant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/auto_images\/hires\/img38161287153802.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/auto_images\/lowres\/img38161287153802.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When a table looks like this, you know that some very happy eating occurred. <\/p>\n<p>If you need further proof, look at these happy people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/auto_images\/hires\/img38201287153875.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/auto_images\/lowres\/img38201287153875.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to go Eamonn&#8217;s route with making your fried fish,  you can always dredge it in about 1-2 cups cornmeal that has been mixed with 1 t. salt and some pepper.  Coat it in the cornmeal, fry it (carefully) in canola or peanut oil.  Don&#8217;t forget to flip it half way through.  Put it on paper towels after frying.  Frying is actually the best way to cook fish for a beginner.  You don&#8217;t have to worry about it drying out or overcooking it the way you do with other cooking methods.  <\/p>\n<p>Now, while your fish is frying away, or, preferably several hours before, you can stir up your own tartar sauce.  Please make your own tartar sauce, I implore you.  You probably already have what you need on hand to make a great sauce and anything will be better than that bottled stuff.  If you need some inspiration, here&#8217;s the list of the sauces available at Eamonn&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/auto_images\/hires\/img38221287154036.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/auto_images\/lowres\/img38221287154036.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yum!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Friday!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fish is something that all my boys adore.
