Calling All Frugal Fish Gourmets
The National Restaurant Association Show, which several DT staffers are attending, is a wonderment of anything you could possibly need for a restaurant.
On the massive exhibit floor I talked with folks from Regal Springs Tilapia, which farms their fish in a sustainable manner in Honduras, Mexico, and Indonesia, and imports it to the US. They're holding a recipe contest that's open to both chefs and the general public. To enter, create a tilapia meal for four that includes 1/4-1/2 pound (or 1 filet) tilapia per person, a vegetable, and salad or fruit. The entire meal must cost $15 or less. Entries will be judged on eight factors, including creativity, how you stretched your money, and your personal story. The winner gets $5,000, and five finalists get $150 each. Submit your entry on their website by August 1.
