Shore Lunch-Style Fried Whitefish

Northwest Territories

Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories is a destination for fishermen from around the world. A shore lunch of fresh-caught fish is a must when fishing in N.W.T. In this version of the classic shore lunch, inspired by Greg Robertson of Bluefish Services, whole wheat flour replaces all-purpose flour and a touch of cornmeal adds a pleasant crunch to the coating. Use the freshest firm white-fleshed fish you can find, such as whitefish, pickerel, halibut or cod.

Fish in Ginger Tomato Sauce

Serve with: Rice and cucumber slices tossed with a dressing of rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, fish sauce and pepper The Philippines was a Spanish colony for more than three centuries, and its cuisine, especially that of the major cities, has incorporated some Spanish ingredients and adapted Spanish dishes to its own tastes. However, the cooking remains basically Southeast Asian in flavour, as in this traditional tomato sauce made more vibrant with ginger, an important ingredient in most fish preparations. It goes best with full-flavoured fish, such as kingfish, grouper, snapper, halibut, pickerel or catfish.

Grilled Miso-Marinated Sablefish on Baby Greens

This recipe is from Sooke Harbour House near Victoria, rated the world's second-best country inn in 2000 by Gourmet magazine. Sinclair Philip, the chef and proprietor, and his kitchen crew, including head chef Edward Tuson, the creator of this recipe, are known for their dedication to local fresh produce and seafood. For the miso paste here, they recommend one from Denman Island, one of the northern Gulf Islands. Sablefish, also known as black cod, comes from the cold waters of the northwest Pacific. Because it may be difficult to buy outside the West Coast, substitute Atlantic halibut.
