We are referring to the feat accomplished by the Princess of cooking a whole fish, defined as a fish with all its outer parts intact except scales and possibly marine freeloaders. Heretofore she had never even eaten a fish that did not already, before reaching her, undergo so great a transformation during prep and cooking that if contestants on some game show were asked to identify it, they would be more likely to label it a Schwinn Mesa 2 Mens Mountain Bike sooner than a fish.
But, as outlined in the previous post, two whole fish were presented to the Princess for cooking by the CSA people, who have no sympathy whatsoever. She was very brave, and although she did lay a sheet of paper towel over the head of the first fish while preparing it, by the second fish she was emboldened enough to lay just half a sheet of paper towel over its head.
The fish heads did undergo a rather alarming alteration in appearance during broiling, which made the Princess regret not buying those little things you can put over fish eyes while they cook. Let's just say they resembled a strange sea creature of the deep. Way deep.
The Hero, hero that he is, chopped off the offending fish heads before serving the meal. Even a Princess can make only so many culinary strides in one day.
For skeptics who may not believe the Princess could actually accomplish this feat, we have provided a photo of the conquered fish, sans head. Bon appétit!

...You know that I was kidding about the fish blinders, right?
From the photographic proof that you have furnished, I must say that I am in awe of what you have accomplished. Seriously, the fish looks perfect, and the entire meal is beautiful.
