A long December

Next year will be better than the last.

The long December is upon us, and while the great 90’s philosopher, The Counting Crows, posited that there is reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last our crystal ball, Dr. Fauci, suggests that that is not case. So to make it through the end of the apocalypse, we have a none bleach injecting suggestion, which to reconsider fish as a comfort food. For too long fish has borne the reputation as uppity, unfriendly, certainly not comforting but that could not be further from the truth. Is there anything better on a cold night than tucking into a bowl of steamed mussels, infused with the flavors of garlic and wine? Or a hearty bouillabaisse full of under sea treasures? Maybe a clam chowder? New England or Manhattan, we don’t judge. The list long and full of fish. Since winter is coming, next time you are thinking about braised short ribs consider braised Monkfish instead.
