  • There's a reason fish is the cornerstone of the Japanese diet. They have the best techniques, and so many people there live long lives — I think it all comes down to the phosphorus. I've wanted to visit Japan for ages, but it just hasn't been in the cards. Cooking fish from an interesting recipe, though — that I can do. I grabbed the first thing I saw at the fish counter and headed home. I ended up with halibut. Unexpected, but intriguing. Everyone in our family, young and old, loves to read, so we have stacks of old cookbooks. After an hour of digging I headed to the kitchen with a battered volume of old Russian recipes tucked under my arm. The recipe for fried halibut turned out to be so simple that I didn't even have to run back to the store — everything I needed was already in the fridge. If you're as lucky as I was and picked up halibut fillet, just rinse it under cool water; if not, clean the fish and remove the bones. For a nice crust, the pros recommend patting the fish dry first. Slice the fillet, fry it in vegetable oil over medium heat, and salt it right there in the pan. While it's still hot, sprinkle it with vinegar, then let it cool. Wash the tomatoes, peel the onions, and slice them — the tomatoes into thin rounds, the onions into rings. Grab a pretty serving bowl and layer it up: tomatoes first, then onion rings, pieces of fish, more tomatoes, onions, and so on. And of course, what's a spread like this without mayonnaise? Spoon it over the top, stir in the chopped herbs, and scatter them over your creation. I'd dreamed of Japan, but the recipe turned out to be Russian — and delicious. A little Russian-Japanese story of its own. Eat more fish; you'll probably live longer for it.
