Family Traditions.

In my home Sunday afternoon is Fish lunch. Why? It’s the first day of the week here. Friday and Saturday is the weekend which means that Friday dinner is a big meal. I cook a little more elaborately then I do during the weekends. If I have a cake it’s usually done by Friday morning.

And usually Thursday afternoon is Hummus. Apart from the fact that it’s a busy cake day for me – most peopel celebrate her on Thursday, Friday Saturday. So Thursday is mostly the busiest weekday for me.

So every Sunday afternoon lunch is usually Fish and I will serve it with either mashed potatoes, spiced Indian potatoes or oven crisp chips, or even my oven baked wedges .

Cilantro Baked Fish

Fish – fresh or frozen

Now I mot often use frozen fish because it the most affordable for me. But if you get fresh fish please go ahead and using it. You can use any fish you like for this recipe, seabass, tilapia, haddock or grouper.

Tip for choosing frozen fish

• The best way to buy frozen fish is to buy the ones that are individually vacuum packed. They are well preserved that way.
• The ones you buy in bulk that come ten or more in one bag. The best way to tell if they are good is; they should not be stuck together.
• Most fish are individually frozen before they are put together in one bag. If they are stuck together means they have been under less frozen temperatures and then refrozen. Which is not something you want. Choose a different batch.
