Terrific Pacific Coast Cod

Submitted by Margee Berry


About the cook: I”m one of those people that loves to go to the grocery store and farmer’s markets often to see all the fresh food available then buying too much so I’ve gotten real good at creating different recipes for food items, it keeps dining from getting boring.

About the dish: This is an easy way to prepare fish with potatoes and onion. The fish is poached in milk which helps make it fool proof and have a delicate texture.
