Fishy Fishy!
I have noticed lately that I have a certain craving for sea food. Being from Mumbai, I have grown up eating fish. Recently it had been quite a while that I prepared some fish at home (~1 month) or had any at a restaurant. But anyways, even if I had it at any restaurant, it would never be something that I cook at home as it does not have the traditional Aaji's masala! (Granny's masala). So today was a lucky day as the grocery store had received a recent fresh stock of frozen sea food (yeah thats the most fresh you can get, which is probably a day after the fish is caught and frozen) and I could see how the shrimp was glistening under the ordinary light. Went in for the large gulf shrimp($ 3.69/lb) and large Jumbo shrimp ($5.99/lb) and Bass. Yes, the rates were dirt cheap. Invited a couple of friends over for dinner. Recipe being quite simple without any complexities, prepared the shrimp curry, pukka Marathi Ishtyle and fried the Bass. Thus rice, shrimp curry and fried Bass. What an excellent dinner with a glass of sweet and soft wine added to it.
