I watched the show and have one comment on how Emeril prepared the fish. I was always taught that you removed the scales before you prepared the fish for cooking. The close up on Emeril putting the cuts in the fish showed that the scales were still on the fish. I don't think that I want to each fish scales no matter how good the receipe was. My sister is a professional chef and she knows Emeril personally and when I convey the idea to her she will be puzzeled at the idea of not removing the scales

This was great, the fish melted in my mouth and the flavor was exquisite. I used potatoes instead of zuchinni.
