Incredibly fresh pieces of wild striped bass, a puree of potatoes and sorrel - I was so excited about this meal, but I forgot that as bright and lovely as sorrel tastes, it turns kind of grey-green when cooked.
Oh, well. At least it tasted good.

Jen, that looks so fantastic. I love love love fresh striped bass!
Can you believe I have never tried sorrel? It’s on the short list now, for sure.

That is hilarious!
The combo sounds fabulous!

Ha! the poop-effect :-), to which I have sucumbed before, too. Rats. But delicious. I very much like the small bite out of the corner of your bass. Sorrel wilted into a cream sauce is about the one thing that can tempt me to saute a chicken breast.
