Shop for Fish ― 2009/11/10
I don’t hate cooking fish that my husband caught. But I definitely prefer shopping fish at a proper shop, if I can choose.
The reason couldn’t be simple: because I don’t have to think about what I cook for dinner. Your fishmonger will suggest the day’s recommendations according to your taste, budget, and your previous shopping. They seem to have a huge database in their brain. Plus, if you buy a whole fish, he will scale, clean, cut, fillet the fish, and make beautiful sashimi for you. What you need is just put the sashimi on your dinner plate and serve. Unlike other ready-made meals, you even don’t have to reheat. And the rest of the fish will be neatly cut for next day’s dinner, such as stew, soup, or baked fish if your fish is big enough.
One day, while my husband were off delightfully fishing, I went to my favourite fishmonger who sells locally caught fish only.
The day’s catch was a sea bream. Huge size, by my standard.
While chatting about this and that, he cleaned, cut, filleted, and made sashimi for me, and pack the rest for tomorrow’s soup.
Then I told him I would like a squid.
Again, he did all those vexing jobs humming a tune while I was chatting about wild flowers and something with his wife.
I didn’t even think about how I would cook it, which is a paradise for a housewife who has been tired of thinking how to cook small fish in a huge amount.
You might say it’s cheaper to catch wild fish than shopping. But, you know, the payment to this trustworthy fishmonger includes fees for his professional skills and expert choice of fish.
Otherwise, I can’t explain why fish from this shop is tastier than wild fish.
