This week, 1 spent some ume at the Farmers Market in Kitchener and had a chance to taste some fresh strawberries that had just been picked a couple of hours before. While we are lucky and can get strawberries almost year round. nothing comâ€" pares to fresh fruit that has had a chance to ripen on the vine. Listed below is a simple but delicious salad that goes well with today‘s What‘s for Dinner â€" San Francisco Halibut. Coming from a family of fishermen, L tell people that we had fish so often that on Fridays we ate beef. (This also makes far a better fish story.) Back when 1 was growing up in San Francisco fish was one of the cheapest things you could buy. Today with the over proâ€" duction of many species, fish has become one of the most expensive things in the grocery store. Currently there are four different types that have been over fished, over eaten and over sold to the point of extinction. They are the Chilean sea bass twhich is not a memâ€" ber of the bass family at all. [ts real name is the Patagonâ€" ian toothfish. Under that name no one would buy it so they changed the name}, swordfish, orange roughy and caviat. 1 hope the next time vou‘re in the store and you see these fish on display you will ask the fishmonger to stop ordering them. ~ a personal chet, I A;m\.t\\ try tu purchase ny grocenes directh trom the local producer when ever pussible birst, it not only guar unties the treshest possible ingredients picked at their prime, it also helps support the â€" local aindependent tarmer This brings me to a topic that‘s close to my heart. Many top restaurants and chefs around the world {including yours truly) are members of the Endangered Fish Alliance and as such will not cook or serve fish that have been placed on the endangered species list.
