Another first for me...Cod! I wasn't raised around home cooked fish. Indeed the only seafood restaurant I knew of was many miles away, in the heart of the city called Bratten's. They were famous for their clam chowder, but I was too young to appreciate the rest of their menu. My only other exposure was the fish sticks we were served every Friday for school lunch (not a great seafood memory). Of course, we had tuna sandwiches, which rocked the way mom made them, and my mom's dad loved fishing. I remember the emptied cartons of Lucerne Milk that had the cleaned and beheaded fish, usually trout, tail-up, frozen in water and soldiered in her deep freeze. I don't remember grandma ever cooking them, but I'm sure she did because she wasted NOTHING!
