I should start looking in my area for cooking classes…

My sister used to work for a Seattle based fish company and used to bring home fresh halibut on occasion. I don’t think I have had any halibut here in UK.
(She also brought home fresh King Crab. Probably one of the best meals I have ever had. I don’t think the quality of that crab has ever been matched. So delicious!)
The fish here is pretty disappointing when you think that UK is always associated with fish and chips.
My father in law was an avocado farmer. The tastiest avo’s were the unfertilized avo’s that looked like a small cucumber. They have no pit and are delicious. The unfertilized fruit was not worth picking as a crop, so the local restaurants would come and pick what they could use in their salads. Have you ever tried these avo’s I am talking about? I had never heard of such a thing. Definitely worth trying if you see them.
Get well Peabody!

I will have to try putting avocado and mango together in a salad…sounds terrific, don’t know why I have never thought of it before!!
