“My aunt Bonnie isn’t much of a cook – cleaning is where she really comes alive. For real. So, when she needs to cook, it’s always a throw-together that sometimes ends up tasting really good, like this pilchard samp. She dumps in the whole can, bones and all, but I like to debone mine because that bone texture ain’t it for me. But do what works best for you.”
