I made fish balls. Now, I generally buy higher quality fish, but I used basa here since it is being used with other ingredients. I chopped and ground the fish and added chopped shallot, basil, homemade bread crumbs, milk, and an egg with salt and pepper.
This is a lesson in altering your food expectations given the season, but also a lesson in cooking seasonally and inexpensively given the food at hand. The only thing I needed to buy was the fish. The tomatoes, basil and onion came from the garden, and the squash and shallot had to be used from our CSA.
