HUNGRY GERALD

BSK has always been a splendid fish cook. HG/BSK now live in a spacious loft in Central Falls, RI. BSK’s fish suppliers are Tony’s Seafood Market (in nearby Seekonk,MA) and Fearless Fish (Providence) –plus Whole Foods (Providence). When at  HG/BSK’s oceanfront home on Prince Edward Island (a serene Canadian democracy) BSK’s source is nearby Julio’s Seafood. The good news is that BSK has scaled new heights in fish cooking. Last night’s supper was fried haddock (fish from Tony’s) accompanied by sublime grits and chopped spinach. The haddock was a revelation–not overcooked and every flake was lush and juicy. Best haddock ever. The same could be said of the sole (also from Tony’s). BSK cooked filets on a sheet pan in the oven. The fish rested on a melange of chopped oniôns, peppers and sliced potatoes. Best sole dish HG ever ate–better than any steamed or sauteed version. (Must admit the butter soaked Sole Meuniere at Le Dome in Paris is the emperor of sole dishes and priced for oligarchs). Since HG’s advanced age–95–and modest handicaps prevent HC from visiting Paris, the old guy will be joyous eating BSK’s delicious sole.
