White Fish en Papillote
My first memory of eating delicious white fish was when I was 8 years old at a family reunion in Alaska. My mom’s cousin made the best beer-battered halibut I’ve ever tasted. At that time, I didn’t care much for any type of fish, let alone halibut, so it was quite a feat to get […]
