KERI WHITE | JE FOOD COLUMNIST

I’VE BEEN experimenting
with di erent types of sh
recently. My latest strategy is
to walk up to the shmonger
and ask what he or she recom-
mends on a given day.

It has never failed: e rec-
ommendations have been spot-
on, fresh and delicious, and this
approach has taken me out of
the semi-rut of cooking soy gin-
ger salmon once a week.

e sh I’ve bought has
been uniformly fresh. When
I unpack it, there is no shy
smell. And let’s consider the
connotation of that phrase —
if it is shy, well, perhaps it is
not terribly fresh. So, cultivate
a good relationship with a rep-
utable establishment and give
these dishes a try.
