A really good seasoning for fish is Zahtar - it's a middle-eastern mix of Sumac [aka Hyssop], thyme, sesame seeds and salt, and it tastes absolutely delicious on fish [particularly tuna or marlin] - sort of lemony. I imagine it's what the spice in Dune tastes like ;) Zahtar also goes exceptionally well with hummous. As does smoked paprika. MMMMM. > >Incidentally, ought I to post a quick soda bread recipe here?

I > can't guarantee I'll try it though, not a huge fan of soda bread. (and > I've never tried making breads either) I'm not a great bread maker but soda bread is SO easy. I'll write up a rough recipe later, and pad it out with actual measurements next time I make a loaf. /joelThere's stuff above here
