Take a Grill and a Fish...

Grilling (in my opinion) makes just about everything taste better, and fish is certainly no exception, especially fattier fish along the lines of salmon, which emerge considerably leaner from their time over the coals. A few ideas:

• Pesce alla Griglia, or Basic Grilled Fish
  Seasoned with herbs, it reaches perfection.
• Trota in Gradela, or Grilled Trout
  This recipe from the Vicentino calls for fario trout, a variety that lives close to the bottom, in running water. They rarely exceed 8 inched in length, reach maturity at 2-3 years of age, and have firm, delicately flavored flesh ideally suited to the grill. In short, perfect for home or campground.
• Tunnu a Palirmitana, or Palermo-Style Fresh Tuna
  Grilled with lemon, rosemary, and sage. Perfect, and you could do the same with pieces from other large fish, for example swordfish or salmon.

And onto a couple of picnic ideas!
Diana says this delicious Potato Salad is perfect for the picnic cooler, and it always tastes better outdoors! (She's right.) And with it? Fabulous Southern Fried Chicken prepared the night before the picnic or early in the morning. Refrigerate to chill and keep it cold until it's time to leave for the picnic, then pack it on ice to keep it cool until serving time.
