The "Smitty" is a unique sandwich created by a community college student in CT, from what I understand it is Fish & Chips btwn 2 pieces of bread (like a chip butty but you keep the batter fried fish) and then there is a special sauce. Where do I find it? Looked in all the online recipe sites - can anyone help?
the chip butty is big in Montreal? the Smitty however keeps the fish part in there
looking for the sauce recipe
Answer
Maybe the codfish is over-fished, right? For the Smitty, use whatever you like on fried fish - I like honey-mustard
Fish to eat
• This is a list of species (from 2007) you can enjoy eating with a clean conscience (for those who are concerned about over-fishing)
These are the fish that are available to UK and European consumers which the Marine Conservation Society believes are fished within sustainable levels using methods which do not cause unacceptable damage to the environment or other marine species.
Black bream
The black bream is one of two species commonly found in northern European seas. It has sweet, firm flesh and is being found on more menus in eateries around the UK.
Choose line-caught fish where available, or fish taken in fixed nets where measures to deter marine mammals have been adopted. Avoid eating immature fish (less than 23cm) caught prior to and during their spawning season (April and May in UK inshore waters), so that they have the chance to spawn or reproduce. The most sustainable stocks are from Cornwall or north-west and northern Wales.
Gurnard (grey and red)
Gurnards belong to a group of fish known collectively as Trigliadae, or sea robins.
Grey gurnard are taken as by-catch in trawl fisheries in deeper offshore waters, but its firm flesh is considered to have a robust flavour. and they, along with yellow or tub, are under less pressure than red gurnard. Avoid eating immature fish (less than 24cm) and fresh (not previously frozen) fish caught during the spawning season (April-August).
Lemon sole
The fishery for lemon sole is largely unregulated. Taken as by-catch in trawl fisheries. Only stocks in Norwegian and North Seas are subject to mixed quota restrictions. Choose otter-trawled fish landed in Cornwall where a minimum landing size (25 cms) above the size at which it matures is enforced. Avoid eating immature fish (below 25 cm) and during its breeding period April-August.
Mackerel
Mackerel is a fast-swimming species belonging to a group of fish known as the scombrid family, which are related to the tuna. It's an oily fish with a distinctive flavour. Stocks are healthy, except in the North Sea. You can increase the sustainability of the fish you eat by choosing line- or net-caught fish from fisheries certified by the MSC. Mackerel taken by handline is an even better choice as this method only targets mackerel.
Megrim
A common flatfish found in shelf seas throughout the north-east Atlantic, megrim and the closely related witch are members of the sole family. Figures show that 90% of Britain's megrim and witch catch is exported to the continent. Choose megrim that is otter-trawled (where the mouth of the net remains open) from waters in the west of Ireland and the Western Channel where stock is classified as healthy. Avoid eating immature fish (less than 25cms) and during their spawning season (January to April).
Pollack
Distributed throughout the north-east Atlantic, pollack is championed as the best substitute for cod and haddock. It is a by-catch of cod and the best choice to make, in terms of selectivity and sustainability, is line-caught pollack. Avoid eating immature fish (below 50cm) and during its breeding season (January to April).
Whiting
Whiting are a low-value species and often discarded in large quantities. The English Channel stock is currently the only stock assessed by marine scientists as having full reproductive capacity and being healthy. Avoid eating immature fish (less than 30 cms), and fresh (not previously frozen) fish caught during the spawning season (March-April).

Would any meal made from scratch at home be considered healthy? Or what kind of meals are considered healthy?

I'm trying to eat healthy - not really worried about weight, just want to be able to make meals that will keep us healthy. Heart disease and diabetes runs in my family so I'm looking for any recipes that would help us prevent those diseases. Does anyone know where I can find some healthy recipes. Thanks
Answer
Generally, when one eats out, there will be a lot more fat, sodium, and simple carbohydrates in the food, and a lot less fiber, whole grains, and other nutrients. So eating out less does often translate into a better overall diet.
BUT... food at home could also be prepared with lots of fat (frying, etc.), or sodium or simple carbohydrates as well, and the choice of which foods to prepare could also fall high on the fat/etc. side.
Here are some sites that should help you get oriented to what you need to eat, and to avoid, to "eat healthy" as well as recipes:

There are some decent things you can eat when you're out too, but it takes a bit of detective work (e.g., look online for the nutritional info for the larger chains)... plus knowing that you can ask for veggies instead of fries as a side, or get things that are grilled,etc., instead of fried, or how to recognize heavy fat or cheese sauces, or to ask for a food to be prepared with as little fat as possible, or to put the salad dressing or butter, etc., on the side intead of on the food, or have a take-home container brought to you when the food is delivered so you can put part of it out of sight while you eat, etc.,etc.
Best of luck! It can be done, so don't give up... it's can also be a fun adventure and there are actually loads of high-taste things that aren't "bad" for you!
