Perch, the other white fish

So, B went to the grocery store on the weekend and decided to randomly ask the fish guy what was on sale. Two things in this story are bizarre 1) Who on earth talks to the fish guy? 2) Why would you ask what's on sale? It probably means that its been sitting there for a few days.

Anyway, the fish guy says that the Perch is on sale. B gives him this horrible look, like she's just smelled my hockey bag. The fish guy responds that perch is good...really! So he gives her a recipe and she buys the fish. We made it the other night and it was great. Here's the recipe

Ingredients
1 Filet of perch
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot (not a green onion but a french shallot)
1/4-1/2 cup white wine

Directions
  • Warm a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Add the perch and brown on 1 side (about 3 minutes, not more than 5).
  • Turn the perch over to brown the other side. Add the wine and shallots and cook for another 3-5 minutes until cooked through. The wine, butter, shallots and olive oil turns into a great sauce so don't forget to serve it over the perch.

Honestly, this is a good recipe even if you're not a big fish eater. Try it, I know you'll like it.
