All so sublime. Where I grew up in Louisiana, we frequently ate deep fat fried freshly caught whole fish (bream, white perch, speckled trout, mullet), often in lard. Once in Seattle, a cajun owned restaurant chef served a nice sized salmon with it tail attached to the head; It was deep fat fried. Wonderful. I should not be reading your column, Jeremiah, nor commenting as I am on The Nutrasystem diet. Alors, one can dream, n'est pas?

OK on that diet switch the lard to olive oil! But must be fabulous in lard. Yes, dream and dream.

😲 Another incredible article. I loved the reminiscence of your time in Hong Kong and the much loved Peak Lookout. It was my first oblivious introduction to your food and your creativity. What a magical life you have led.

Thank you Mao, and I miss Hong Kong a lot. Not sure what it is like now with the new regime, but the food is still great I assume.
