Catching Dinner

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Blackened-Fish/Detail.aspx

Have you ever caught your dinner?

I was recently looking up ways to dish out a delicious serving of freshwater fish, but I was having a hard time finding some good recipes for it. My search results kept coming up with saltwater fish recipes for the most part (since it's more common, and also rather tasty).

However, the succulent fish cooking in the pan (above) is from a recipe found on allrecipes.com. The website is basically your free, online cook book. It's got recipes for just about anything you could hunger for. You can even search by ingredient if you're in the mood for, oh say, avocados in your meal. All Recipes has healthy food options, holiday treats, and festive foods too. It even offers a specific drink to go with each meal!

Once you join as a member, you can receive daily e-mails with the "daily dish" so you'll have something for every night! The website also enables you to upload your own recipes to share, rate recipes, and change the serving size.

Allrecipes.com originated in the early 90's by then actor, David Quinn. David Quinn started off as a regular on the hit children's TV program, "Sesame Street". It was in 1993 that Quinn, after living as an AIDS advocate for teens in the 80's, left acting to study at the University of Washington. There, he co-founded allrecipes.com and then in 2006, sold it to Reader's Digest.

Since then, allrecipes.com has come out with their own Iphone/Ipad application:

Maybe I'd have better luck finding freshwater fish recipes using the app...

In any case, I'm still searching for ideas and good recipes for the next time I fry up my catch of the day. If you've got one, please leave it in a comment below! Or, feel free to tweet it at me: @morgmanfredi OR @woodislandcorp

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks!
