NOTES : Essential Equipment: grill  
Fish is easy to fix and so good for you. Fish is available whole,  
drawn and pan-dressed, but you'll find it most often in steaks or  
fillets. You can purchase fish fresh or frozen. When you select  
fresh fish, the scales should be bright with a sheen, the flesh  
should be firm and elastic and there should be no odor. Frozen  
fish should be tightly wrapped and frozen solid; there should be  
no discoloration and no odor.  
Cuts of Fish  
Fish steaks are the cross section of a large pan-dressed fish.  
Steaks are 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Allow 1/4 to 1/3 pound per  
serving.  
Fish fillets are the sides of the fish, cut lengthwise from the  
fish. They can be purchased with or without skin. Fillets usually  
are boneless; however, small bones, called pins, may be present.  
Allow 1/4 to 1/3 pound per serving.

Peel the potatoes, and cut into large pieces.  
Heat the chicken broth and potatoes to boiling in the saucepan over high  
heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to make sure potatoes do not stick  
to the saucepan. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so  
mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook about 15 minutes or until potatoes  
are tender when pierced with a fork.  
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and thinly slice the green onions.  
Cut green onions into thin slices, using some of the green part. Throw  
away the tip with the stringy end. If you have extra onions, wrap them  
airtight and store in the refrigerator up to 5 days.  
When the potatoes are done, remove the saucepan from the heat, but do not  
drain. Break the potatoes into smaller pieces with the potato masher or
