Cooking instruction summary:

In a food processor, coarsely grind almonds. You want to make sure that it's fine enough to stick to the fish, but not too fine where you won't be able to feel the texture the almonds provide.Combine ground almonds, flour, Old Bay Seasoning and white pepper in a shallow dish.Pour olive oil into a pan, but just enough to fill the bottom. The amount of olive oil used will depend on how big your pan is. Heat oil to medium heat.Coat fish fillets with the almond mixture. Use slight pressure when coating the fish to make sure it sticks.Place coated fish fillets into the heated pan and cook fish about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. I like to allow the fish to brown on one side before flipping to the other to reduce the damage done to the fish while cooking. You should only have to flip once. Once the first side is golden brown, flip to the other. Once the second side is golden brown, the fish will be done.Squeeze juice from a lemon slice on fish fillets to taste.

Food Trivia

There are 7,500 varieties of apples grown throughout the world, and if you tried a new variety each day, it would take you 20 years to try them all.

Food Joke

A monastery in the English countryside had fallen on hard times, and decided to establish a business to defray their expenses, such as a bakery or winery. Being English, however, they decided to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular, attracting people from all over. One city fellow, thinking himself clever, asked one of the brothers standing nearby, "I suppose you're the 'fish friar'?" "No", answered the brother levelly, "I'm the 'chip monk'".
