Ha. I just noticed the name on the bottom of this baker I've had for years this week. How cool you collected their mugs. It's kind of neat to learn about someone who made a career from pottery in a unique way.<br /><br />HI Lori, thanks, yes fish for breakfast, you know how they have those movies where the folks come in early in the morning with a fresh fish caught in a lake and they have eggs and pan fried fish, it tastes so much better eaten right after being freshly caught.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-74836951764081541362012-09-25T00:43:19.879-04:002012-09-25T00:43:19.879-04:00Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, I cant' believe how...Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, I cant' believe how long I've had this baker and have hardly ever used it. I'll be using it more often now that I remembered.<br /><br />Hi Jennie, thanks, I thought poached fish would be tasteless but it's really good.<br /><br />Hi Barbara, thanks, I just keep my camera on the counter and quickly take the photos, some are a little out of focus as sometimes it's hard to hold the fish and the camera at the same time. <br /><br />Hi Gigi, thanks, this fish doesn't have many small bones. There is a trick to taking the bones out on lots of fish especially if the head is left on the head can be pulled towards the body cavity and many times all the bones will come out all in one piece still connected to the spine. We prefer to eat the skin on salmon as near the skin is the oils which contain much of the vitamins in the fish needed for joint lubrication and help with arthritis. Most of the fish we get are fillets, filleted by the fish market, but this one happened to be whole.<br /><br />Hi Sapphire, thanks, yes we eat fish quite often as the fish market here is really good and fresh and the prices are reasonable. There are many varieties of pompano, sometimes also called jack fish.<br /><br />Hi Ms. Sparrow, thanks, my mom only cooked fish sticks that were store bought. Ha. One of the reasons I learned how to cook and I have always been adventurous with tasting new foods. That and fish is so good for us; All the fish we get is caught and not farm raised; I like fact we are eating a food that hasn't been farm raised and isn't full of antibiotics, hormones and grain fed with unnatural foods like most animals are raised nowadays.<br /><br />Hi Elna, thanks, yes this was an excellent way to cook the fish and so delicious.<br /><br />Hi Julia, thanks, this baker is so easy to use and a nice look to it too.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, you could probably poach a fish in one of your beautiful casseroles too, not sure if it would need a hole for the steam to escape though. I'm going to try poaching some other fish too. I saved the juices and we had it for lunch again today. I just put the juice on top of the fish and heated it in the microwave. The red garlic chili sauce was hot by itself but mixed with the rest of the ingredients it was just right.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-31950739048363758332012-09-24T15:47:37.337-04:002012-09-24T15:47:37.337-04:00omg that looks so good!

I had never had it before and it was very good. All the flavors you added to your recipe are our favorites. I think the next trip into the city we will get another fish and give it a try.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-4239490494757461832012-09-24T11:25:03.040-04:002012-09-24T11:25:03.040-04:00A beautiful baker and a lovely recipe (as usual!)....A beautiful baker and a lovely recipe (as usual!)...Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077677066902349111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-23742992172841302042012-09-24T10:39:51.637-04:002012-09-24T10:39:51.637-04:00What a fine ceramic fish and so fun to cook fish i...What a fine ceramic fish and so fun to cook fish in a fish *smile*.<br /><br />HugsElnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644107227965720576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-9461660210070478032012-09-24T09:40:57.487-04:002012-09-24T09:40:57.487-04:00I'm always amazed at how often you eat fish.

My mom would only fry fish in corn meal and I hated it.

Bones is the reason why I cook only salmon filets (skinless and boneless). I think I'll try the cilantro, ginger, shallot, etc. topping, though. It would go great with salmon. Thanks for the idea, Linda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-49852167516865850862012-09-24T09:07:42.274-04:002012-09-24T09:07:42.274-04:00Great post...how you took the time to take pics wh...Great post...how you took the time to take pics while that fish was waiting to be eaten...you have much more (something, can't think of the adjective) than I do!
