I still remember the sense of achievement when I first got my eldest child to eat some fish – We persuaded her that it was special pink meat as that was her favourite colour at the time. Fast forward 13 years, that salmon is still a firm favourite in our house. As long as it is accompanied by hundreds of King Prawns – Why do my kids have to have expensive tastes?
After last month’s humungous Chocolate RoundUp, I set BritMums bloggers the challenge of sharing their FISH recipes. I’m looking for family favourites, nothing to scary or fussy – Fish is at its best served fresh and simply.
Fish Fingers are a staple food for most of us as children – I still remember sitting down to watch Jamie and His Magic Torch with my fish fingers and peas for lunch (Yeah, I know – Showing my age!) Feeding Boys and a Firefighter last month shared her Wholegrain Fish Finger Pitta Pockets and My Fussy Eater made Lemon & herb Fish Fingers for Kids. I’m suspecting Fish Fingers are as popular as ever although Jamie and His Magic Torch is no longer in fashion.
If you want something a little posher, Cherished By Me helped us out with her Posh Fish Finger Sandwiches served with Rocket & Caper Mayo.
Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen served Salmon & Sweet Potato Fishcakes and got her children to even help make them.
Not forgetting the seafood though, Honest Mum shared her King Prawn Masala – Have it as spicy as you dare! Its a One Pot Wonder.
For the warm summer days ahead, we have salads containing fish. Smoked Salmon & Mixed Grains Salad from Hijacked By Twins and Mackerel Sashimi Salad from The HedgeCombers.
And lastly, let us not forget Family Favourites – Fish Pie. It seems like ease is a massive factor in this dish. Both Jo’s Kitchen and the Easy Peasy Foodie shared their Easy Peasy Family Fish Pies.
And so that is our Fishy RoundUp for May – I hope you have been inspired to include some fish in your meal plans.
Send me your foodie posts for consideration for the next round-up. It can be about anything food related, and don’t forget to link up below too!
The linky below will remain open until the first week of June.
