Greensboro NC yellow tail snapper

I had a great whole fish at the O.  Henry Green Valley Grill here in Greensboro NC.   I thought it was perhaps a local fish, but it came from California.  It was delightfully fresh and prepared perfectly with a garnish of goat cheese, tomatoes, onions and mild spices.  I went off the diet to have roasted potatoes.  Perfectly sautéed spinach was the vegetable.  the gorgonzola with walnut dressing on the romaine salad was another taste delight as was Hobnob Pinot Noir, the California fish getting a California wine.

The wine proves that a good taste does not have to expensive, although they get a good price for this inexpensive stuff.

In the room here was a great little handout on food and in that an article on ordering local fish whenever possible with some suggestions of fish rarely understood by consumers.  Top of the list was Triggerfish which I have only had when we speared them in Key West years ago or perhaps after a fishing trip.  I suspect they can be purchased in Florida at the fish market.  I'll have to see.
