Guest guest Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 GO FISH! Thursday, 10 November 2011 The fish I ate when I was a kid were all deep fried. And I've got to tell you, I was more into the crust that coated the fish than I was the taste of the fish itself. And oh yeah, I have to add, a few tablespoons of tarter sauce made any type of fish...taste delicious! (Did I even need to tell you that? LOL!) Fish is also easy to prepare and doesn't take very long to cook. Yep, fried fish was what I grew up on. In fact, I didn't really experience fish that wasn't fried until I moved here to Los Angeles. This city has a lot of restaurants that specialize in fish so I was able to end up really enjoying the taste of my fish...without it being deep-fried. Fish is a rich source of protein and good-for-your-heart omega-3's. Fish is also easy to prepare and doesn't take very long to cook. After I'd dined at a number of restaurants that featured fish, I got into the habit of preparing my own fish dishes at home. I like using a variety of white fish, spread a little Dijon mustard on each side, lightly dust it with bread crumbs then bake my fish. So simple but oh, so good! (The Dijon mustard really brings out the flavor of the fish.) I also like to steam some white fish. First, I let the fish marinate in a little light soy sauce, garlic and ginger. I then place the filets in the steamer and in just a few minutes, viola...they're done! Here's another way I like to prepare fish. I'll lightly brown filets of talipia or halibut. Then I make my own special sauce using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper. Oh, it's so good! Have some fun, experiment with different spices on your fish recipes and, believe me, you'll begin enjoying the true flavor of fish, just as much as I do. Lots of people love salmon or catfish. Have some fun, experiment with different spices on your fish recipes and, believe me, you'll begin enjoying the true flavor of fish, just as much as I do. Because fish is so good for me, I try to have a meal featuring fish at least twice a week. And, as long as we're talking about fish, let's not forget America's favorite canned fish..tuna! Tuna salad is one of my faves. I make it with diced celery, green onions, radishes, sweet pickle relish and mix it with a little low-fat mayo. (It's a lower-fat version of the tuna salad my mother made for my lunch back home in New Orleans.) Thank You, my sweet Shirley, for writing so many of your recipes down for me! . So, you want a great-tasting, low-fat, good-for-you dinner for you and your family? Then, I say...GO FISH! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
