“My Mom is not a big fan of fish. Her Mom didn’t cook a lot of it at home when they were growing up because as a kid spending summers out on the lake in Wisconsin during the depression, fish was free and widely available. As such, she very quickly became sick of fish. Since cooking is something that has been passed down in my family, I never learned to cook it. Then came college, and I started experimenting with fish. This was the first recipe I tried.” – April Ferre
