[Sca-cooks] Fish was Christianity in SCA cookery.

[Terry Decker]

Years ago, I did a Scandinavian feast (back before I was seriously working
with period recipes) and sent the pickled whiting out with the first course.
The Queen had three helpings of it before the Baroness leaned over and
suggested that she might want to save room for the next two courses.  The
Queen, having had as much food presented as most feasts of the day, hadn't
realized just how extensive the meal was.

Do try white fish some day.  The whiting fillets with the apple wine sauce
beats pickled fish hands down, if you have a grill surface big enough to
push the batches through quickly and serve straight from the grill to the
platter to the table.
