Go with the Asian on line recipes, they are far better than mine. I just do the easy one when I don't have stuff on hand. That being said, I have never had a fish meal I didn't like, both state side and overseas.
Ha-ha... OK; I'll trust your judgement, on the "better recipe" recommendation... I'll shop around a bit... We've got a place on the near-east-side of Cleveland, called "Asia Plaza", in "Chinatown" (what has been historically Chinatown, but...) I'm guessing that I'd be capable of finding any kind of specialty ingredients over there... I need to speak with the younger employees, when I go in there, 'cause most labels on most products are printed with only Chinese writing... Y; while many of the elders DO speak plenty fine enough English; some tend to be "a bit 'stand-offish' "; it seems.

I guess I should have said that I don't read OR write Chinese & only know about enough spoken words to probably get myself in trouble!

correction! I do not like dried squid as a snack.
Yeah, I'm "with ya" on the squid... If I had all my TEETH back; ... I'm pretty sure that there's a few recipes that are at least EDIBLE; but, with no teeth at all; I can't see me using a squid for anything but bait, anymore.

Puget Sound has been closed to rock fish. It also has a highly reduced season for Ling cod, salmon and halibut. Fortunately the sole fishing is still strong and as tasty as ever. We limited with rock sole, sand sole, big sandabs and one other species I have to look up (no not baby halibut). As for those of you that have followed the boat cover post, This is one reason why my carpet is getting replaced with vinyl

Good job bapabear, I probably would have thrown them back not knowing the difference. Is this local fishing for you?

The one you hold in your left hand might be a petrale sole. This is the best eating of all soles including the grey sole. We usually had to wait until July to catch them in California as they preferred warm water.

The ramp is about ten minutes away. I drove about 30 minutes to where I caught them. But sole can be found all over the San Juan Islands area.

It's hard to tell from the photo. The mouth looks small in the photo, but that being said, there are several petrale sole in the pile, so I may have picked one up. Thanks for the input.
