In the Philippines we ate seafood several times a week.\u00a0 My grandfather’s favorite dish to make was called “Jumping Salad”.\u00a0 It was fresh shrimp (still jumping around) with oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.\u00a0 I thought that was gross but then again my brother and I would fight over who would get to eat the eyeballs from whatever fish was prepared.\u00a0 I sometimes envy people who live in coastal areas because of the easy access to fresh seafood.\u00a0 I could easily go to Whole Foods<\/a> to purchase some but I think I should explore what Wisconsin has to offer.\u00a0 Trout, walleye, and perch are locally found here and are extremely popular for Friday Fish Fry’s.\u00a0 A week ago we bought some yellow perch from Coolwater Farms <\/a>at the farmer’s market (Lois from Marr’s Valley View Farms has recently started carrying yellow perch).\u00a0 Sadly, it was already deboned, filleted, and fresh frozen.\u00a0 No eyeballs.\u00a0 Aquaculture is a growing sector of the economy here in Wisconsin.\u00a0 Coolwater Farms is the closest fishery from where I live as far as I know.\u00a0 It is in Deerfield which is only about an hour and a half away.<\/p>\n

Last year, we went to Tian Jin, a Chinese restaurant in Chanhassen, MN.\u00a0 I had something called “Boiled Fish” and it was just spectacular unlike it’s name.\u00a0 Our plan was to try to recreate the dish using the yellow perch.<\/p>\n
