I learned about butterfish in Saratoga, California at the Race Street Market where I first tried it. I wouldn't eat fish as a child and am very particular which fish and shellfish I'll eat.

This recipe was fine but that's it. Not very flavorful and while it was pretty simple to make I don't think I will be repeating it. Read More

Thank you. I made this dish with this hot blonde director I'm dating for lunch. So its also a good recipe for food therapy. Completely misread the recipe and combined all ingredients with the melted butter made on the gas grill outside and even with this mistake it was crazy tasty looked fabby and impressed me & my date quite a bit. We r discussing what she's making for our next date! Thanks Read More

Good basic recipe needed a little more seasoning. I added paprika scallions bc I didn't have chives. Sauteed some mushrooms and spooned the sauce over it and was very tasty! Will make again Read More
