Meanwhile, I want to sing the praises of the John Dory. This distinctive fish is tall but small, not lavish in its gifts, but deeply rewarding. You can always tell a John Dory by the black mark by the gills. It is a fish for connoisseurs, something to talk about long in advance of the meal. Something to invite the boss home for, if you want promotion. No individual fish will give you a huge portion, but - my goodness! - each bite is full of rapture, and holds together, and tells you something flattering about yourself.
In this case, we simply grilled the fish on a flat steel plate. Served with a garlicky gratin of potatoes baked with cream, and some freshly-picked spinach simply washed and heated in a covered pan.
Superb food. Fit for kings. Cheap, local, simple and fast.
I just want to ask you, why does anyone think that price should be the first consideration when buying food?
