 "Seated at their welcoming dining table, conversation frequently centers on lively tales of the day's catch. But when the sumptuous lemon curry baked halibut is served, silence descends as even the most ardent angler concentrates on the matter at hand. Personally, I don't believe that I have ever heard so many requests for a recipe."
