Personal Notes:
This is great served with Crostini - see recipe. As for the fish - there is probably too much on this list - pick and choose from the list based on what is available to you.
Also - this recipe takes longer than anticipated - I made it for Bob and Dallas and then for Mary's birthday - so I would say 2.5 hours minimum. It really goes well with Praline and Orange Salad - and the bread or crostini is a must.
