FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FEAST

"Fish is held out to be one of the greatest luxuries of the table and not only necessary, but even indispensable at all dinners where there is any pretence to excellence or fashion. "
~ Mrs. Isabella Beeton
(from A Cook's Alphabet of Quotations)
WORLD'S BEST FISH MARINADE
(recipe found on the Internet from Michael & Ms. Weslie's Recipes Online~
excellent for any firm whitefish, grouper, trout, salmon, or tuna)
LEMON/OIL/HERB MARINADE
(for 4 fish)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon rind
2 Tbsp. horseradish
1 clove garlic, halved
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
Combine all above except olive oil. Gradually add oil with whisk or in blender. Pour marinade over fish, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours. Grill as normal, basting with left over marinade (or reduce remaining marinade and serve over fish).
Delicious served with grilled fresh asparagus ( Toss asparagus spears with olive oil and a few splashes of balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Grill until slightly caramelized.)
