Gone Fishing!

I have been cooking fish/seafood a bunch in the last month and here is my opinion thus far:

1. Salmon: always good

2. Catfish: great deep-fried

3. Pacific Basa: Classy, light flavor. I will be doing that again.

4. The fish that Sue's husband caught a week ago: not so good, actually, pretty gross wish I new what it was so I don't make that mistake again.

5. Shrimp Alfredo: didn't use a recipe, but rather many years of absorbed Food Network and watching my mom. It was amazing, if I do say so. Lisa even took some to her friend at work and SHE was bragging to everyone about it. The secret is taking little dried shrimp, pulverizing that into a powder and adding it to the homemade alfredo sauce before you add the pasta, veggies and whole shrimp. Another secret is not cooking the raw shrimp before you add it to the alfredo and pasta; they will cook after you bring the heat to about medium-low and cover the pot for about 6-8 minutes before serving. Did I mention that pasta is one of my least favorite things? For reason I was craving an alfredo dish that day; thank goodness for cravings.
