I have just returned from a wonderful week in New York with Jen and K1NGWARREN. It is often very unusual to return to This Glorious City after going to New York. Gone are the skyscrapers and wonderful restaurants on every corner. Gone is the buzz of activity created by millions of people zipping around. Gone is the stench of urine in the air, replaced by the stench of burning sewage in the air.

I don't often update this section of my site much these days as so much of my effort these days go into my latest projects such as so much of my time is divided between other projects such as The Crappy News Forums and Company X. This merely serves as a portal for the site and remains the main source of information for a lot of my friends and family as to the goings on in my life.

My culinary job search continues. I have a few interviews lined up (including a certain company that on first glance could be mistaken for a heavy metal bakery). I haven't yet seen the perfect job come my way. No one has yet offered to pay me for playing video games so my knives remain sharpened and I'm ready to once again don the checkered pants and silly hat of a professional chef.

Chef, you strike me as a man in the midst of early life crisis. Your Heart tells you VIDEO GAMES, but your mind says "CREME BRULEE".

If you could cook for the video game staff, you would be living a perfectly balanced life.

question--------- Does freezing Sea Bass after buying it ruin it's texture/flavor?

[Chefelf]

Well freezing never helps the quality of anything. Was if fresh when purchased? If so it should be okay to freeze. It could easily have been frozen fish that was thawed in which case you don't really want to go freeze it again.

I'm sure it was pre frozen. According to my pal who works at a store that sells all types of fish, most fish is brought in frozen.

I bought an expensive peice of sea bass last month and tossed her on the ole BBQ. It tasted great, at tiny bit of oil with some salt n pepper...fantastic!

However, I bought a peice last week, and with out my knowledge, my mother put it in the freezer over night. I was planning on letting it sit in the fridge and eat it the next day.

When I de-thawed the bass the next day and cooked it...It was terrible. It had a jelly consistency, and just tasted competely off.

I was very dissappointed because the fish was rather costly. My mother of course claimed that I cooked it wrong, but I think it was the freezing of the fish that killed it.
