- .RZ "FISH IN HOT FANNY SAUCE" "Fish in a hot garlic/pecan sauce"
- The Cajun Cafe in Portland Oregon serves a sauce whose recipe they got under
- license from K-Paul's in New Orleans. They devoutly refused to answer all of
- my questions about the sauce or its ingredients, so I've tried to formulate
- it on my own, at home. This stuff doesn't taste exactly like what the
- restaurant serves, but it's delicious in its own right. Maybe it's best to
- title the recipe ``fish with something not entirely unlike hot fanny sauce.''
- .PP
- This sauce is best served with a moderately strong fish: I would
- reccommend sturgeon, swordfish, or tuna.
