From Rebecca Franklin, your Guide to French Food
As many do, I look forward to the local parish fish fry every year, but there's no reason make that your only meal option this Lenten season. Try the creative recipes I've included in today's newsletter. With crepes, omelets, vegetarian stew, and roasted fish with herb butter, there is a flavorful something for everyone. Enjoy!

Roasted Cod with Montpellier Butter
The ingredient list may be long, but the preparation of this roasted cod with Montpellier butter recipe is actually quite effortless. The butter is something of an herb-laced, eggless mayonnaise perked up with cornichons and anchovies; it tastes wonderful served as a garnish to quickly roasted cod fillets. Served with fresh salad greens, the whole meal is very appealing to the palate served with a crisp, dry white wine.
