RECIPES
Fish stock
This stock is so much better than the store-bought, sodium-soaked stocks we find in the supermarkets.
Poached cod
This is a great recipe that is quick and easy – so easy that you can cook this quickly during the week after a long day at work.
Sauteed fiddlehead ferns
This recipe is super easy and so delicious. I like to make this as a side dish served with pork tenderloin, steak, grilled chicken, or codfish. Craig Bergeron
