Baked Scrod
A classic New England favorite, our baked scrod is flaky, light, and perfectly seasoned.
The Backstory: This simple recipe for Baked Scrod can be adopted for most fish dishes. Whenever I visit my daughter and her family in Andover, Massachusetts, we usually have dinner at a wonderful restaurant called Grassfields. Being a creature of habit, I always order the same thing time and time again. I never even bother to look at the menu. Their baked scrod is absolutely the best. It doesn’t matter if I order it baked or stuffed, I am never disappointed. My side dish is usually rice, but it also comes with a variety of choices. Doesn’t matter what you choose everything is prepared to perfection. This wonderful piece of fish is just so tasty, flaky, light and flavorful. I could eat it just about every night. Since this is not going to happen, I’ve learned to prepare this at home. This is pure goodness on a plate. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
