    Early summer here and that means corn on the cob and cherries.

    I used to buy a punnet of cherry tomatoes every day for work when I worked in a machine shop. They last forever if you suck them.

    Steak is always a good idea.

    ^The stakes are high

    But yeah, life's too short to eat shit steaks when good ones don't cost a great deal and are easy to get.

    ^ I'll ignore that.


    This week at Makro they had packs of barramundi fillets, so I thought I'd try a bit of that.

    I have pretty much perfected this method... I made a foil parcel of barramundi and tomatoes with seasoning and a knob of butter. Almost like a barramundi kleftico.

    All ready to bake when the potato is nearly done.



    20 minutes...



    Minimal carbs, loads of veg, what's not to like!

    And we're back on the peas.



    Lovely!

    Isn't the filet of a fish always boneless when you buy it?

    Mendip didn't mention country of origin/processing and this being Thailand, valid question to ask.

    Here ya go...

    It doesn't say fillets but I guess that's what they are. There were no bones in the first two portions anyway.

    It was good and made a nice change from salmon.

    Thanks Mendip. Doing a monthly shop in Nan tomorrow so will have a look for it. And likely just use your recipe/method. Anything with that amount of butter can't help be okay.

    Looks great, but don't they have fresh Barra on ice and a free cleaning station in the Macro up there?

    Depending on the type of fish, not always.

    Yes. Some fish have pin bones that are not always removed when filleting.

    ^Case in point: Sea Bream fillets that have about 7 bones in them that need to be plucked out before cooking. I suppose you could leave them in and risk choking or pick the bones out off the end of your tongue while eating but it's easier to get rid of them first.

    Looks good, why not substitue the baked potato for more salad?

    I'd recommend adding some onion in the parcel as well.

    A slice of lemon? But otherwise looks good Mendy.
