( You might say that (sure has felt that way) but we still have to buy the ice down at the store.. :roll: ...Chuck )

Be careful with that Ceviche. DONT use ANY kind of fish that spend any time whatsoever in fresh water. Such as Salmon, Trout or catfish. as no heat is used in cooking it, you can easily aquire parasites that can really mess up yeer week. Always cook freshwater fish.

I tried the baked fish recipe at the top of this thread. Fabulous! Best baked fish I have done yet. I was a little leary of the mayonaise ingredient probably because I am not much of a cook but it pretty much cooks away. Probably just keeps things good and moist. Great recipe. Thanks, Chuck! Definitely a keeper--both Chuck and the recipe!

( Wow , Thank's for the good words ...All I want to know is when is supper :?:
Chuck.)

I remember this recipe, and it sounds funny but tastes great!!

1-2 lbs white fish fillets (your choice of fish)

1 8oz package of Philadelphia cream cheese

1 package of instant or quick-fix wild (brown) rice

Butter or PAM to coat cassarole dish

1 8" square cassarole dish (glass)

a couple of toothpicks




Prepare the wild rice per instructions. Once completed set aside.

Butter (or PAM) your backing dish. Place fish fillets in dish. Top fish filets with spread of cream cheese. Top cream cheese with portion of wild rice.

Now, pin the fillets closed and turn the fillets on their side. You now have a "pinwheel" of fish, cream cheeze, and rice. Bake in oven (350-400) for 7-10 minutes or until fish looks to be flakey and done.


The cream cheeze gives the fish a slightly "sweet" flavor and retains moistness while the wild rice adds some "ooomp" ......

Enjoy.
