I confess... we are OBSESSED with Mangoes over here! We just can't get enough of them... and lucky for us there are so many GREAT health benefits to go along with the amazing flavor and tropical vibe, that you can justify splurging on them. They are a little more expensive than most fruits (check out Costco, a box or 8 for .50) but 1 of them can be enjoyed by a few hungry fingers. We have them with breakfast or as a snack or mixed in with another fruit

One of my favorite summer fish for sashimi is kinmedai. In Japanese the characters are 金目鯛. Literally a golden-eye tai or sea bream. Fishmongers refer to it simply as kinme.
