I know it sounds weird, but take it from me, fellow travelers, if you’re going somewhere and there’s a possibilty you’ll be feeding yourself,  you can survive with good olive oil, an onion, and of course,  salt. I take a few trips each year with my girlfriends and we usually rent a house. Totally fun, but rentals don’t always have what one needs and sometimes the grocery stores can be sketchy. BUT! If you have the abovementioned essentials, you can make something easy and delicious like Ferry Boat House Fish.  If you’re feeding about 4: run up to the store, or better yet the fish market, and buy 2 or 3 lbs. of thick snapper fillets. Actually any firm white fish will do, but I like snapper cuz it’s affordable and you can’t really screw it up. Saute’ that onion, finely diced, in the olive oil till nice and soft, then slide in the fish. Cook it on medium heat till it starts to look opaque, salt and pepper it, and carefully turn it over and cook the other side till the fish looks ready to flake. A good rule is 10 minutes per inch of fish, but you’ll know when it’s done; it’ll look right. Take out any obvious bones and that’s it – serve it with some fresh lemon if you have it, some vegetables, a little pasta, whatever. This is also great because even after a few glasses of wine it’s still easy to do. And the cool thing is that because you remembered your olive oil and onion you made an easy, delicious, and fabulous dinner, which could also prevent a hangover! You are brilliant.
