What do you mean by "yield percentage". Like, the weight of the fillets versus the total weight of the fish?

63%

63%

I was going to say 61, but fair enough.

Yes, that. I was guessing 65 or so, close enough.

Unless you're God, he can get 68.5% out of them.

I will have to actually measure it next week when I get more in. I will beat God.

It is, but trying to shave your palms with a straight razor is a *****!

What do I need to know about cooking with a tagine? Is the food as delicious and easy to make as it looks?

 

[shibbel]

What kind do you have?

 

[StephenHero]

I don't have one.

Can someone give me a good recipe for making Bavarian pretzels/pretzel bread? I tried a few and they just became blobby when boiling and never got brown in the oven. Don't think I want to use lye, and I'd like to point out my Publix has some acceptable pretzel bread and I doubt they use lye.
