We used to eat a lot of salmon caught from the Willammette River by the Clackamas and Yakima Nation Indian tribes, but then they got some contract with a distributor and the salmon is shipped out of state.<br /> Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-1321343285604468892013-01-16T11:34:53.568-05:002013-01-16T11:34:53.568-05:00I KNOW!!!

I suppose you could have it with wild rice or something else full of fiber, but then there would be carbs. <br /> Then again, I never see any result of my 'healthy eating' so go ahead and throw the celery away!Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-3656411387934156612013-01-16T11:33:17.390-05:002013-01-16T11:33:17.390-05:00See, maybe that's it.

And I found this at our grocery outlet and it was reasonable for the amount in the bag. I didn't even really know how to cook it so I just made something up that was NOT fish tacos.

Remember when it was cod? Then cod got expensive, so then it was something else (whiting?). Now it's tilapia.<br /><br />The thing they all have in common is that they're easy to raise, have a mild flavor, and people buy it.<br />Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-67305971821569947122013-01-16T10:04:57.379-05:002013-01-16T10:04:57.379-05:00Un-beautiful, but I can taste it already!

I put everything on it during farmer's market season: peach salsa, fresh Italian tomato sauce, or just throw olive oil and spices on it.<br /><br />Love the idea of stuffing it into celery. You also have given me the idea of making fish tacos with lettuce wraps instead.<br /><br />Mary Curry, I am wondering if you have the same issue a lot of folks do with certain foods. Everyone has different proportions of the sweet, salty, sour etc taste buds. Maybe, you don't have the right ones to enjoy it?<br /><br />Peace, JulieJ.
