yes yes I kknow I always link the beeb but it is good!

I can only eat fillets, bones = vom, heads = barf.

LOL at "firm-fleshed fish"

ooer

i'll tell you what is really nice... baked salmon! and SO easy.

just buy some fillets from the fish counter in the supermarket (cheaper than getting it pre-packed)
put in a dish and cover with foil and bake for aboiut 15 minutes.

i actuall have some nice recipes for marinades too if you're interested.

yep well im goign to take each day as it comes adn then report back
do feeel free to do the same!

looks yummy. we eat lots of fish... am only carnivore in household of veggie / fish only types.
staples are:
pasta / spicy tomato sauce / sardines / breadcrumbs
large king prawns / with garlic / parsley / chilli / lemon / crusty bread / salad
seafood risotto
fish curry
any good for starters. try to get oily fish down dss's as much as poss.

NOPE prawns are out - cholesterol

we love em

yes have a good pasta an sardine recipe somwhere that we haev often
Its REAL fish that unnerves me slightly

try coley fillets, baked in foil with green pesto rubbed onto the fish and a squeeze of lemon - very nice.

I think oats are very good for lowering cholestorol, cod, and also soya, or did I make that bit up?

Sorry to hear of dh's dx.

Finely slice leeks lengthwise (or use very thin baby leeks and slice down middle. Place on baking tray. Wrap monkfish tails in bacon slices and place on leeks. Add splash of olive oil/white wine. Bake in hot oven for 15 mins (check at 10). Yum.

yep yep i am now almost an expert have read and read and read

BACON???
swwon no good

V healthy, quick and tastes yum.

Not related to the fishy thread Cod but oats are supposd to be great for bringing down cholesterol. a bowl of porridge in the morning and another as a snack was recommended to a friend.

This is a good thread I can cook but never cook fish because i'm scared of cooking it as well!
