TIP OF THE DAY: Ways To Serve Fish

March 4, 2015 at 8:38 am · Filed under Fish-Seafood-Caviar, Tip Of The Day

Did you give up meat for Lent? Are you looking for different ways to add fish to your diet?

Here are recommendations from Chef Charlie Baggs, of Charlie Baggs Culinary Innovations in Chicago, to which we’ve added some of our own suggestions.

The original article was written for Flavor & The Menu, a magazine and website for chefs that made these suggestions for their menu during the six weeks of Lent when seafood sales soar.

Chef Baggs offers different techniques for cooking seafood in both traditional and more modern preparations. You can try a different one every day!

  • Baked: clams/oysters/clambake, en papillote; quiche; Salmon Wellington, smoked cod flan, wrapped in phyllo dough with dill and lemon sauce.
