<<< I am dallying with the idea of serving fish at a feast I'm doing
in February, based on Chiqart and Menagier of Paris. What I would
love to do is a whole roast fish "swimming" on a bed of decorated
rice, with green sorrel verjuice on top and sprinkled with small
whole shrimp. I have been warned away from doing this dish because
"people don't eat fish at feasts" and "what about the bones?". So.
Have you ever served fish at a feast? How? How was it received? >>>
First, Welcome to SCA-Cooks!
Yes, I have eaten fish at SCA feasts.
It looks like you have already gotten a number of replies to your
question, but you might also want to check some of the comments in
this file in the FEASTS section of the Florilegium:
feasts-fish-msg (34K) 10/ 9/08 Serving fish at SCA feasts.
In the same section is also this review of a feast centered on fish.
fish-feast-art (6K) 3/29/00 Details and recipes for a mid-Lent
"fish feast" by Rudd Rayfield.
There are a number of files about fish and fish recipes in the FOOD-
MEATS section as well, just in case you need more.
