   What interesting and nutritious - looking recipes you have here! They look absolutely fantastic! I live in Alaska on the coasts of the southeast region, so fishing is a big part of our lifestyles. We eat a lot of fresh fish, but we actually don't have any paiche here. Is that primarily a warm-water climated fish?

   Actually I just bought paiche at Whole Foods. Not that expensive either, for Whole Foods at 12.95 a pound.
   I have not tried cooking it yet but I am not inclined to bury the flavor of the fish in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. I will probably pan roast and apply lemon cilantro garlic so I can taste the figs better first.

   Actually I really don?t know if you can find this kind of fish in this place maybe the name is not the same or the variety doesn?t exists, at least in this city because I have never seen it in cans or fresh, but those recipes seem delicious! Even to prepare with other kind of fish or meat, I think? So thanks for the recommendations!
