White Fish Blend has a new name: Bar Harbor Blend.
This blend contains no fish, but tastes excellent on seafood. White Fish Seasoning combines onion, garlic, lemon, dill, and peppercorns. Excellent with chicken, potatoes, tomato based products, sour cream, cream sauces, and of course all fish.
White Fish/Bar Harbor Blend:
This started out as a wonderful coriander spice mix I wanted to enlighten everyone to but became something more familiar. You don't have to eat this with fish, you don't even have to like fish to enjoy this spice blend. It is simple:
All these things are good with fish and seafood, but also compliment chicken, cucumbers, smoked salmon, turkey, and white sauces.
