One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Run, don't walk to your nearest Costco and purchase a supply of the fresh, beautiful, wild-caught salmon while it is in season. If you are buying "Atlantic-caught," newsflash: it is farm-raised. What does that mean? The red color you see is due to the fact that the fish are fed red feed. Can we say artificial coloring? Yuk... forget about the nutrition you might have thought you were having. You are probably better off to have organic, locally raised beef instead of that carp. Always buy wild-caught and US country of origin. The price is $7.99/pound and is packaged in approximately 2.5# increments - 2 large filets. I have cut each one in half and have put two halves in quart freezer bags. What to do with it? Thaw package of filets and marinade in that same freezer bag, of course, with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh garlic, and a touch of herb seasoning. Maybe grill, maybe nonstick skillet... either way, Omegas tonight!
