I get a lot of requests for old recipes from the Como Inn, a long-gone Chicago restaurant favorite which operated from 1924 until 2001. People remember the place for its ambience and style–but also, for simple classics like this dish, requested by reader Prairie T. Fresh basil & oregano, sweet tomatoes, and whitefish, good-quality olive oil, a little white wine, lemon and capers.
