<span style=”COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)” data-mce-style=”color: #000000;”>Had an experirence with that a few years back.  I insist on fresh haddock for one of my favorite recipes, but my market only had F.A.S., so I took a gamble.  Boy, did it pay off.  It was better than any so-called “fresh haddock” I’d ever eaten.</span>

</span>
<span style=”COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)” data-mce-style=”color: #000000;”>Have your butcher remove the bone and then <span style=”TEXT-DECORATION: underline” data-mce-style=”text-decoration: underline;”>tie it back on</span>.</span>

</span>
<span style=”COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)” data-mce-style=”color: #000000;”>When the roast is cooked, just cut the string, remove the bone (called Beef Spareribs, by the way), for easier carving.</span>
</p>
<p>
<span style=”COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)” data-mce-style=”color: #000000;”>
</span>
<span style=”COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)” data-mce-style=”color: #000000;”>Then separate each bone and gnaw away.   <em>Now <strong>that’s</strong> food!</em>
