Something Fishy
My Mom made great fried fish. It was a meal that I chose for my birthday meal a number of times. She always fried Haddock using a boxed seasoning mix but she had the knack of frying it just right to be cooked through and crispy. Yum.
Today I went grocery shopping with a few meals unplanned but suggested by the grocery ads. (What can I say, my daughter’s family is on vacation so The Bearded One and I can wing it.) Haddock is on sale. Perfect! My daughter’s husband does not care for seafood so now is the perfect time to eat fishy things.
When I lived in Ohio for years (only a few months ago), Haddock was hard to find…even frozen. Here it is in the Fresh Seafood case…and on sale. We are still dieting so I looked for some ideas for lightening up the fried fish from my childhood. This is what I came up with and it is great! I didn’t even want to use the tartar sauce I had made! Mild, flaky, crispy…and easy!
