Food Friday: Sea Bass with Coconut Curry Sauce
If you were to ask me if I like fish, I would probably say no. Sure, I eat salmon. And I like sushi. And when I really stop to think about it, I have had some amazing fish at a restaurant before. I don’t know what it is, maybe the distant memory of having some bad fish a long time ago, or the way fish smells, but when I think of fish I don’t think of liking it. So when Daniel told me that he wanted to buy some fresh Sea Bass from our favorite sushi fish supplier, I was supportive, but less then enthusiastic. I mean, I don’t really like fish…..
Then I ate the fresh Sea Bass from Catalina Offshore and now I feel like a new fish-eating, nay, fish-LOVING woman. This is by far the BEST FISH I have ever eaten. Fresh, moist, with a buttery flavor and a texture that melts in your mouth. If you live in San Diego, you need to RUN, not walk, to Catalina Offshore and pick some up next time they have a shipment.
We tried two different recipes with this fish, and both were fantastic. This one photographed a little better, so it will be today’s feature merely based on it’s good looks.
Today’s Feature: Sea Bass with Coconut Curry Sauce
Oh, Ginette, I am with you on the fish. However, curry is a whole ‘nother story….because I LOVE curries! Especially coconut curry. I will definitely give this a whirl! Thanks girl~

Ginette — MY MOUTH IS WATERING!!!
That looks so delicious! I know, it’s tough to have a non-fish liker in the house. Kevin always says he doesn’t like fish, but he eats salmon and anything that really is fresh fish — because it doesn’t smell and taste fishy! That’s the secret, it HAS to be fresh!!!
Thank you for Food Fridays! I look forward to it every week!! In fact, I’m surprised at how soon Friday comes every week! Thank you for your sharing your God-given talent with all of us.
Truly, I wish I lived in San Diego so I could take advantage of Catalina Offshore! Probably someplace near here I could get really fresh fish, but never have the time! So once again, THANK YOU for sharing your love for photography and food with us all!!!
