Feasting Together: Learn to make fried fish with strawberry salsa

Join Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) for another instalment of their Feasting Together sessions, featuring fresh seasonal strawberries.

According to a release from the library, sweet seasonal strawberries are known as heart berries in Ojibwe, and are considered a special gift from the Creator for the Haudenosaunee. This early berry holds a special place in many Indigenous cultures—and, of course, it’s a delicious treat for everyone! KFPL invites the community to turn it into a seasonal dish alongside fried fish in this session of KFPL’s Feasting Together series.

Curve Lake First Nation cook Janice McCue will lead participants through making fried fish fillets and strawberry salsa over Zoom on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, from 2 to 3 p.m. Attendees will have a chance to interact and cook alongside Janice from their own homes, KFPL stated.

“Janice has been offering up diverse dishes from Indigenous cuisines over the past few months and it’s been fantastic,” said Jake Miller, Librarian, Adult Programming. “There’s so much to learn, and so much community interest. This session will build on that engagement.”

Ingredients and cooking instructions are on the registration page at https://calendar.kfpl.ca/event/6629819.
