Here Fishy Fishy

I think everyone is sort of aware that there are certain fish you are not suppose to eat because they are over fished and at risk of becoming extinct and disrupting whole ecosystems. It's hard to know what is what thought so here is a great link from my fabulous friend Erica that breaks it down for you by eco-best, eco-okay and eco-worst. Anyway this all came about because I had too much cilantro (you know how you buy the big bunch at the store and it's always too much and goes bad) and decided to make up a salad dressing for taco salad and it turned out so good that I decided to use it as a marinade for fish, so here it is if you are so inclined to give it whirl on the grill:
Cilantro Lime Marinade or Salad Dressing
5 tbsns EVOO
3 tbsns Lime Juice
1 tbsn Vinegar (white, or really what ever you have on hand)
1 1/2 tsps Dijon mustard
1/4 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
garlic clove
salt and pepper
Toss in Magic Bullet and blend it up, or press the garlic and shake it up in a sealed container.
You might have to play with some of the proportions as we like things a bit on the vinegary side. Try with orange juice too! yummy. Let me know how you like it.
