What did you cook or eat today (July 2020)?

[stuey48]

Pan-fried fillet of bream, with Savoy cabbage and fennel, mussels, fennel pollen and red apple, with a cider and cream sauce.
I basically followed Clare Smyth's recipe. It's very good. Yes, it should have been turbot, but I couldn't get hold of any. What about you cats? Can you get turbot?

Indonesian beef croquette for lunch with some fresh fruit at my MIL's home.

And some airfryer fries and a cheese croquette for dinner. Kept it easy today.

Indonesian beef croquette doesn't sound easy to me.

I do it all the time. Just joking but I have done it. In fact its quite an old British way to garnish dishes. It goes back to pre Victorian. It looks very pretty too.

Fab! And 'get you' with the fennel pollen. I've used that ingredient too, as has medtran49 and its lovely. In fact I managed to collect my own pollen last year from bronze fennel. Turbot is tops but its top price too so bream is a good sub.

I can order it on-line I think. I also have fillets in the freezer. Last time I had it I bought a whole turbot was a while ago...

Ah, I had heard of turbot, but didn't know what it was. It's a flatfish, like flounder. I rarely see either one of those fish here in North Texas, and when I do, it is a menu item at a restaurant. My mom used to cook overcook flounder a lot when we lived in the Northeast, where they are caught.

Its huge and although flat, is fat (I mean much meatier). Much more than a flounder. Its the 'King of the Sea' it is said.
