Tasty recipes for a versatile fish. Try it this week.

Fish is an important part of my menu and even though many people are not so fond of fish, somehow I get compliments. My secret:

  • Avoid bones. People not accustomed to eating fish are really bothered by bones.
  • Don’t overcook the fish. When it’s done, get it out of the oven and on the serving plate.
  • Use interesting flavors. Fish is very flexible. Flavor it with whatever you like.

Talapia is a great fish, nice small tasty fillets. Try it during The Nine Days.
