I recently ate fish at a restaurant in Short Hills, NJ, which was prepared by a process called "blackening". This consisted of coating the fish with a mixture of black pepper, cayenne pepper, and other spices. The result was delicious, very spicy (hot), but surprisingly without destroying the subtle flavor of the fish. This is apparently a Cajun style of cooking. If anyone knows the secret of preparing "blackened" fish, I would appreciate mail or a response to the net. -- Tom Butler ..!ihnp4!ihuxn!ttb
