Stop the presses! Today marks a major milestone in my adult life. This week I enjoyed salmon at two separate meals. In case you don't see this event as monumental, let me 'splain.
I officially don't like seafood. I have never liked seafood. Now and again I will try it to test my tastes and make others happy but usually I just tolerate it. The only fish I have ever enjoyed in the past is tilapia and let's face it, tilapia doesn't really taste like much. People have argued that shrimp don't taste like much either, but I once had a hippy-dippy communal Circle of Life moment with shrimp while in the ocean, so I just can't eat them. True story. I still mark shellfish with the exception of the occasional crab cake as off limits, mostly due to flavor and texture issues. But fish, now that is another story. I think given this weeks break through that I am ready to branch out and try some new types of fish.
My timing couldn't be better. Considering Flounder and I are planning to take a two week trans-atlantic cruise that docks in Barcelona next spring, now could not be a better time to get onboard the fish train. I am still not ready to cook it though.
