It was the watercress that sounded amazing to me!

Tonight, in honor of a Lent Friday (we are not Catholic), breaded pan fried grouper, fries, homemade tartar sauce. Maybe a veg, maybe not. Sometimes it just works out that your dinner lines up with the calendar :).

My better half is doing a chicken cacciatore.

My only contribution will be selecting the wine. I just picked up a Dolcetto Dogliani Superiore that may fit the bill.

Last night, I took some of the leftover piggie and rendered it down, and made sandwiches on Acme torpedo rolls, with a schmear of the smashed black beans, some smoked gouda, red bell pepper strips, a piece of romaine, and of course, sellanchro.

For tonight, I'm thinking of stopping by this place https://www.newdumplingfood.com/ - friends have recommended, and say it is good. I'll probably cook up that kale in the fridge with some garlic to accompany.

I'm envious of your dinner because I love grouper!

In an effort to save all our sanity, as we have been home bound since last Wednesday due to ice and snow and the cars are still iced in, I convinced my housemate to walk to the nearest open restaurant to pick up dinner. So we are having Americanized Chinese food: hot and sour soup, shrimp fried rice, mooshu pork, and chicken with broccoli.

I don't think that I have ever had grouper nor do I ever remember seeing it in a store. Is it rare?

Not rare, but not frequently seen around the US West Coast.

I am Catholic and enjoyed steak for dinner tonight. :D

mega yummy!!
some of our favorites although moo shoo vegetable and extra pancakes :-)
I tend to sometimes get some dishes that are more Chinese for myself because I enjoy Chinese leftovers.

Ian loves to go to FL for grouper. I myself also may not have had it. I’ve had some white fish in Minneapolis / St Paul as well as lake white fish in Wisconsin :-)

Its definitely more common in Florida and the Gulf

Dinner for us tonight consisted of broiled black sea bass (which I caught), mushroom risotto and sweet collard greens. I need to begin thinning out my supply of fish from last summer and fall. Tomorrow night will be summer flounder(fluke) and maybe some ling. Perhaps a fish fry is in order, I will make some potato salad and cornbread. Conservatively, I still have over 200 lbs of fish in the freezer downstairs.

There are pretty strict fishing quotas as I understand, so you don't see it in large quantities outside Florida. I'm more inclined to see it as a restaurant special (pre-pandemic) than in a grocery store or fish monger.

You probably had walleye...maybe perch.Both are fresh water white fleshed fish, indigenous to those areas.

Or actual freshwater whitefish. Whitefish and perch are common around Lake Michigan, but I don't think walleye are fished commercially on Lake Michigan -- maybe Lake Erie, Huron and Superior?
