Title: Better than bacon? Maybe....
Post by: brimic on June 18, 2013, 07:16:46 PM
...at least for a bacon alternative.
Costco Lemon pepper cod.
Nomming it for supper.
I've bought several boxes of it in the past and its easily the best store bought fish I've ever had.

this thread promotes heresy.

I move that it be closed at once, and stricken from the record.

I would never say it's better than bacon.

My wife thinks it's funny that I get excited whenever we're watching Deadliest Catch, and I complain about all those nice cod they catch as bait for crab.

I'd save a couple dozen of 'em for myself!

I think a good prosciutto is way better than bacon.

Still heresy

And my heritage makes it hard for me to say such a thing.

AH-HEM!   :police:  The fistful is in hearty agreement with The Mustachioed One that "fish meat is practically a vegetable."

First of all if we are here we are disturbed.

Secondly it is fistful, nothing he does disturbs me anymore.  Getting used to it.

If fistful no longer truely disturbs you, you should seek medical help IMMEDIATLY.

In fact, we should put a medical warning lable on him to that effect.

Earlier this year I spent some time trying to convince my vegetarian friend that chicken, beef & lamb are in fact vegetables. Chicken, because no real animal can run around for months without it's head, cows & lamb because they've got nothing in the way of brain activity inside, so they count as vegetables too. As for pig, I brought forth the argument that "they'd eat you given the chance, the best way to deny them that chance is to eat them before they eat you". Did not convince her.

Silly boy, prosciutto IS bacon.
Ham, actually.

And not smoked, only dry cured.

And with the exception of the shank, almost always eaten raw.

Had some as part of a tapas recipe a few weeks back. Did not finish the one piece. [barf]

The other items we made that night were highly nommable.

What is a "Swai" and what part of the animal is it made from?

(Sorry about the giggling but questions like that always remind me of Marilyn Monroe's question about what other parts of the Motzoh are edible.)

stay safe.

Swai = a large-ish fish.  Quite commonly found in Oriental markets, but also at Wal-Mart.

Here's the whole fish, along with an example of a fillet:
