When I find good Ahi, I usually scoop it up.  Unfortunately, we’ve had some bad experiences in the past with less than quality fish.  We despise “fishy” tasting fish office design.  I was surprised the other day when Bill said he is hungry for Ahi (yellow fin tuna), but at the same time thrilled because I love it!  I had recently found some very high quality tuna at Costco and froze a couple of the fillets once we vacuum pack sealed them bilder online kostenlos herunterladen.

Most often I prepare this type of fish Asian style; marinade it and this time was feeling like having something different.  I poked around the Internet and got a few ideas for creating my dish.  The drizzle piece was posted by someone else on another fish recipe, but I mostly got creative working with ingredients that I had on hand!   Sugar Snap peas are still readily available and I don’t often prepare fish with pasta, so this was something completely out of the ordinary.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m glad I took the risk as the result was a delicious, fresh dinner that both Bill and I really enjoyed app zum musik downloaden und offline hören!
