We're swapping shows with Whetstone Radio's Setting the Table — hosted by writer Deb Freeman — which explores the stories and histories of African American cuisine and foodways.

Actor Ted Danson is well known for Cheers and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but he is also a passionate advocate for ocean health and founder of Oceana. Ted and ocean scientist Dr. Daniel Pauly talk about sustainability, how to enjoy fish responsibily, and the impact that industrial fishing is having on global climate change. I also offer a couple of delicious (and sustainable) fish recipes inspired by my trip to Bermuda, and I answer your questions on “real sourdough,” expiration dates, and the perfect easy dessert.

It's our first episode of Food with Mark Bittman, and today I'm joined by the fabulous Nigella Lawson. She talks about cooking during the pandemic, food snobbery, and the pleasures of using less popular ingredients from rhubarb to celeriac. We bond over our equally terrible knife skills and Nigella takes issue the term "guilty pleasure." Team Bittman Project answers your questions from the perfect number of pizza toppings to a dad doesn't know what to feed his two vegetarian daughters. I also share my recipes for asparagus and leek soup and a simple and declines herb omelette.

Food with Mark Bittman is coming May 24. Until then, here is a simple and delicious recipe for fish tacos.

• Cook a chopped red onion in olive oil for a minute or two.
• When it’s soft, add a big pinch of ground cumin or coriander and some salt and pepper.
• Keeping the heat relatively high, add a pound or so of fish fillets and stir to break them into chunks, cooking until they’re just opaque.
• Turn off heat, squeeze lime juice over the mixture and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Warm corn tortillas and fill with the fish mixture.
• Top with shredded cabbage, chopped tomato or tomatillos, a splash of hot sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. 
• Any firm white fish works well here; or try crab or shrimp.

Food with Mark Bittman is coming May 24. In the meantime, here is a delicious recipe for grilled tomato sandwich with blue cheese spread .

• Mash blue cheese with a little softened cream cheese, chopped chives, and just enough milk to make it spreadable.
• Smear a thin layer on slices of good bread.Top with ripe tomato, salt, and pepper.

• Cut on the diagonal and serve with pickles or chow chow.
• Thinly sliced roast beef will bulk this up considerably.
