Just recently you uploaded a picture of your culinary creation which consisted of halibut with a tomato dish.

This is my very similar version which I perfected a couple of years ago and usually serve with salmon or chicken breast and steamed green vegetables.

It's a popular dish in this house.

You've reminded me, LCG, that I've not had one of my favourite simple dishes lately: Sea bream with pasta and a tomato & chilli sauce, with chilli flakes on top, served with a mixed leaf salad:

I do love sea bream, Chris!

Yummy.

We've got a lovely fish van that parks up outside the local Co-op every Friday morning:

The problem for me though is that he opens at 6.30am (having bought his fish on Lowestoft fish mark at 4am) and he's often sold out by about 9.30am. I'm not a morning person!

Wow, we have nothing like that around here.

I would be there every week without fail :-)

Looks good LCG. Not been cooking much for a few weeks. Concentrating my efforts on getting myself "presentable" after another minor op that turns out to be pretty hard hitting. I always use white fish, with Halibut being my first choice. It is always better if I can get a piece with the black skin on as this is presented on top and crisped, but Halibut is sometimes just too expensive. Used Sea Bass, with much reduced cooking times, and Cod but Halibut is the preferred dish. I serve it up with half a dozen skin on fat fries with a mayo dip. The fish is only scorched for a short while to crisp the skin, or add colour, and oven cooked atop the sauce with a good Cheddar or better still Gruyere cheese.

That looks really nice, Togo. I am a huge halibut fan but do love bass and bream too or even a bit of hake. I'll eat cod if I have to.

I threw some crumbed feta into the tomato. Sometimes if there's some left over I'll serve it for breakfast with a couple of poached eggs.
