A Fishy Tale
Over the weekend, I didn't manage to go to the FashBash, nor the On Pedder warehouse sale. I didn't lead the weekend of a fashionista, it was an auntie weekend for me....
Attended the 6th lesson of the Basic Cooking Course on Saturday, where we learnt some great ways to prepare the fish. First, we learnt how to fillet the fish. It took a bit of effort, but I somehow managed to fillet my very own garoupa for the first time!
Then, we learnt the art of making teriyaki sauce - not sure how I'm going to flambe this at home, without burning the cooker hood!
We tried our hands at shucking fresh oysters too - my very first one, after a LONG time - it was really hard. But the sweetness of success was so evident in the taste of the oyster thereafter!
After 3 hours, we've learnt how to make a seriously yummy Cod with Teriyaki Sauce, Deep Fried Fish in Beer Batter (with our very own tartare sauce) and a Prawn and Avocado Salad with Tomato-Basil Salsa. Would be really fun to do the cod and beer-battered fish and chips at home in the future - think The Boy would really enjoy them!
The auntie weekend continued with the acquisition of a 5-litre stock pot on Sunday, complete with steamer, at a super good deal lor!!! How cool is that?!
