Fish on the rocks a.k.a. drunken rockfish

Every Friday from now until perpetuity we will be having fish.  I will say that living on the coast I expect to be able to find fresh, wild caught fish all the time.

Not so much....

Today my choices were either Ahi or Rock Fish.  The Rock fish was not only much more affordable, but also something I had not cook with before, so the adventure begins....
