FISH FRY

FISH....FISH

One of the best loved seafood i.e. Fish. Fish can be shallow or deep fried, baked or grilled, whichever way you cook but, combined with exotic indian spices gives the same great taste and flavour. There are so many fish fry dishes, i would like to share two simple fish fry dishes i usuall do. Fish is my favourite and has been part of my regular diet. Fish are low in fat and cholesterol, and a good source protein, omega -3 fatty acids (esp. oily fish like salmon).
The following recipe can be used to make with any kind of your favourite fish variety. Try it and you will enjoy....

*** Following dishes can also be oven baked at 350F for 20-25min or until done (as required).

TIP OF THE DAY

To aid in washing dishes, adding 2-3tbsp of baking soda in the pre-wash section for prewashing or sprinkling a handful to the dirty dishes and bottom of the dishwasher helps reduce the usage of detergent, deodorize and extra clean the dishes by cutting through the grease easily.

For Laundry- Replacing half of the detergent with bakin soda in washing clothes, will cleans the clothes really well, also smells good and also softens the clothes.
