Thanks to those who posted specific info on Han's recipe. Has anyone tried it yet? I'm asking out of curiosity because due to personal choice, it's not a recipe that I will cook. Although I'm interested to know what other forum users thought of it, for those who have tried it.

I do not have the book, so no. I do not know the exact recipe and cooking procedure. But it's certainly a healthy meal.

But it's certainly a healthy meal. Yes, I suppose it would be. Although a statement such as this is entirely based on a persons point of view. My point of view is that I would certainly enjoy the new potatos and salad. |

I was able to buy a copy on my recent trip and it's great. Good quality and lots of recipes you will actually cook. Thety are not all authentic Scots recipes though there are certainly plenty of those. It compares very favourably with all the other Recipes from Scotland books I could have bought while there - only you are also helping a worthy cause.
It's a book I will be able to get good use of, but not sure I can use Hans' recipe as I'm sure it's not the same if you use frozen fish. Best to go to Lewis, catch the fish yourself and get a grandma to cook it for you.

And most - i don't live in Scotland.  |

Virgil, are all the recipes in this book roughly the same as the one Han's has submitted?

This simple dish is one of my favourites inspired by fond memories of going fishing on Loch Breugach with my brother Will and our Grandpa Bill Maclean on the Isle of Lewis. These were truly magical days. There is nothing quite like coming home with fresh fish you have caught and Grandma Belle cooking them that same evening served with new potatoes, lettuce and parsley straight from the garden. [/quote] I found some pictures of the place where Hans and his grandfather fishing.  This is referred to as the "town end" of the loch being the part nearest to Stornoway. www.geograph.org.uk/photo/829065Loch Breugach taken from the NE looking SW. www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1274259Quite a depressing place ... |

did you mean "depressing" (i.e. sad, forlorn) or are you joking?! The Hebrides are GORGEOUS! remote, rugged, wind swept and interesting! and rainy when I was there last... shocker.

speaking of which...  Hans' was the simplest of the recipes Cat. There is also chicken, Scotch Broth, Risotto, muffins, tarts paella, Cullen Skink, Venison, Steak Pie, Sea Bass with thingyles. Fish is big though, lots of fish. Hans was the only one who didn't list ingredients. |

He does not know the ingredients for that reason .. |

sorry that's Hans and his grandfather returning from a fishing trip...I assume. It was the subdued photo from the cookbook.
I suspect that grilled fish implies you take the fish...and grill it. He's lucky, when I was a kid - you catch it, you clean it. Nana would still cook it, if Dad would let her get her hands on it.
but guys buy this book if you can -- Ross Munro is a sweet little guy, his pciture is in the book as well, and Action Duchenne is a great cause! The book has a lot of recipes, and well worth the donation!
(easy for me to say, ay Virg)
