OMG, we just had these from Issue 37. They were out of this world good!!! The mango salsa was so exciting, the flavors were excellent. The tilapia comes out perfect when you follow the oven fry method they give. My only little complaint is that the creamy chipolte sauce was HOT, but that's just me. Chipoltes are the one Mex food I don't enjoy, heat without flavor I think. BUT James loved it!! 9 YUMS Cis Empress for Life

There's where I disagree with you. I think chipotles have wonderful flavour.
The sauce "Dave's Insanity" is heat without flavour, but chipotles, with all those nuances of the red jalapeños from which they are made, and the whole smoking process, just have me addicted.

I've got that one dog-earred, just haven't gotten around to making it yet. I guess I'll have to bump it up closer to the top of the list!
I had to go to Southport for a doctor's appointment. It was so nice to be back "home". While there I took Mom to lunch at MY favorite restro on the water, outdoor dining. Sweetie that he is, the owner, Paul, treated us both to lunch. Anyway, when we road down to the shrimp house, it was closed. I then remembered seeing the owner...another Paul...leaving on his shrimp boat when we were dining. DANG! I sooo wanted some grouper or dolphin and shrimp...$3.79 a pound! (Head on, I'm sure, but still pretty good, 'cause I've heard the shrimp coming in now are HUGE!)

Thanks for the review, Cis. This sounds excellent! I thought that I had copied the recipe, but can't find it now, so would you mind posting it for me? I don't have that issue. Thanks so much.

My, that does sound yummy, and everything in it is actually available here, including the tilapia. Personally, I would leave out the cukes, though. Also, grape tomatoes are really pricey here, so I'd just cut up some Romas. Will be a while before I can try this one. It's near the end of the month, and I'm conserving my money. The fish may cost a lot less here than it does in the States, but it is still a lot more than chicken, pork, or beef. Approximate, current prices (per pound): - Chicken: $1.11
- Pork: $2.22
- Beef: $2.40
- Fish: $4.24
