CITIZENS!!! Attend and pay heed, for the Proconsul of Proclamations – YOUR TFD! – summons the entirety of TFD Nation for an important communiqué from your Leader on high! As I have dutifully meditated upon all things gastronomic from my icy perch on the shoulders of Mount Erebus in Antarctica, and itemized all the ingredients in My pantry – I have come to a profound and disturbing realization…
…I’m really not fond of most fish. At all.
Sushi? LOVE it! Smoked salmon? On my bagel, absolutely! Cooked fish? Not so much. Freshwater fish – really not My thing in the least.
This piscine paucity is duly observed in the fact that even saltwater fish recipes are a distinct paucity here on TFD because I normally only post recipes I’m fond of, let alone lake- and river-swimming creatures I enjoy preparing even less. Still – my anti-ichthyological ichthyic must be cleft asunder for the good of all!
Therefore, without further ado, I do hereby decree with all aplomb, dignity and gravitas that the next *3* recipes shall immediately address this issue by being not just fish recipes, but ASIAN freshwater fish recipes (Asian preparations are more to My taste for fish)!
Like the Samurai in the picture accompanying this post, I shall embrace My issues as fervently as he is hugging that freshwater carp – and like any chef with aspirations to the divine, I shall transform something less than desirable into a gastronomic ambrosia worthy of the Olympian Gods Themselves!!! TFD shall serve the greater good and place My own (prodigious!) ego in check for your sake, if not My own!
I HAVE SPOKEN!!!
