About

Throughout our travels we look for restaurants that are away from the touristic path, and venture out to where the locals enjoy great food, local flavors and great chefs that have fun and love what they do. A fun and delightful experience each and every time.

The base of this recipe started on a trip that we took years ago while we stopped at this quaint restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas. Throughout the years we enjoyed it over and over on those busy late nights of homework and all sorts of after school activities.

Having a couple of extra minutes and seen that I just bought some fresh cod, I wanted to have fun with new flavors.

So here a new version of an old time favorite. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Bon Appetit!!
