Given how much you know about charcuterie, I was totally taken in by this, until I saw this \\/

I have a recipe that calls for argan oil, but I don't know if I want to go buy a whole bottle for the small amount I'll be using. Can I substitute with something like walnut oil? Or, is it a nice enough oil on its own that it would be worth having on hand?

It's particular. I like it, a lot of people don't. Guys, Rambo is not wrong about the fish. It isn't a cure all for curling, but it certainly helps. Also, there is a trick to scoring. You grab the fillet in your palm and curl the edges inward so the fish looks like the top half of a tube. Then you can score them easily and safely, as only the area you want to score is available to the knife. Going a bit into the meat is fine, just don't go all the way through. Japanese generally go about half way in, and their cooked fish doesn't fall apart. Take this as no overall support of Rambo's often silly poasts.

It certainly is a healthy oil and while not having tried it out by myself I've just heard good stuff from it so I guess it's a good buy.

It's very nutty, so it goes well on meat as a finishing touch, and also on vegetables.

I'll try it out. Next time I'll be sure to score the fillets. As much as I press down, I always will end up with some buckling. Technically, depending on the depth of the scores, will the fish cook quicker? Or, at least brown faster?

Marginally. If you want flat, use a burger press. I think I said that above.

When you are good, you are good, but you swing at too many pitches out of the strike zone, then you argue with the umpires when you are called out. You are the Dave Kingman of your time.

As a baseball fan, that is the most damning praise that I can think of. Note - for those of you who don't know anything about baseball history - please reference Adam Dunn or Mark Reynolds for modern day examples.

Kong!

I believe he was for a long time the only player with 400+ HRs who is not in the hall of fame. With the roids business, that will change.

Yes, I smell it constantly because of a client.
