[QUOTE="talien, post: 8214598, member: 3285"] With fish a popular dish in our house on Fridays, we decided to finally give the [URL='https://amzn.to/3uRwwYY'][B]Heroes' Feast [/B]Dragon Salmon[/URL] recipe a try. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1093.jpg"]133633[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [HEADING=2]Dragon Salmon[/HEADING] At a guess, the reason this salmon is called "Dragon Salmon" is due to its size. For obvious reasons, the salmon we bought wasn't nearly as large. As the description above states, the secret to a good salmon isn't so much cooking it as it's the sauce. The sauce calls for 2/3 cup of a fruity, medium-bodied red wine.

[CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1091.jpg"]133634[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [HEADING=2]Fishing for Food[/HEADING] Someone has to catch these huge salmon; given their size, it seems like it's not a simple task. It's easy to imagine that Aundair fishermen have some wicked hooks and very strong fishing lines to reel in these monsters. With the popularity of fishing as a hobby, it's perhaps no surprise that of all the common "minigames" added to the main quest of digital role-playing games, fishing is one of the most common. [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FishingMinigame']As you can see from TVTropes[/URL], there's dozens of fishing games. There's a reason for this: Role-playing games in particular tend to have fishing mini-games.
