 It's simply the biggest and the best.

Sweet Lips

Jul 02, 2009

Now that publisher John Derby has become part of the celeb column, right along side of Sheriff Mark Pazin, District Attorney Larry Morse II and Supervisor Mike Nelson, this seems to be the perfect time to come out with our "Sweet Lips" column.

Ask Valley Chef

May 28, 2009

I'm so thrilled to see your new column! Thanks for doing it.
As summer approaches and our appetites turn to lighter fare I have a few questions regarding fish.
1) Can you reccomend a reliable place for buying fresh fish in Merced?
2) What types of fish are my best bet around here?
3) Which cooking methods work best for which types of fish? (My favorite in the summer time is grilled)
4) And last but not least...a question with which I'm at a total loss ... How do I cook a whole fish?? (and where do I even buy one for doing so?)
I realize it's not for everybody but whole fish is one of my favorite things in the world!
I love the simplicity and the succulence of a whole fish done right. I'd love to make it a regular feature for my summer dinners with friends.
Since fish is so tricky and easy to screw up I'm really looking forward to your advice.
Thanks Chef!
Best,
Wanda
