I made this for dinner for Desmond last night. Not able to get Raki here in Winnipeg any longer, I used Pernod as it isn't as sweet as Ouzo or Sambuca yet has the flavours needed. Quite delicious. I'll remember to take a photo next time.
Why am I posting this now? Gorgeous pickerel is in season until March 31st. The sweetness of the fish makes it so versatile for so many cooking methods and recipes.
