OK, so DH and DD went shopping and have come back with....

[broguemum]

...2 whole plaice. What on earth can we do with them? I don't cook fish! I'm veggie!! They've even got heads on!!!! I just hope all the squishy bits have gone. Poor things. They are in my fridge and they must be gone by the end of weekend. Any ideas?

TIA.

Google 'recipe whole plaice' and print out results. Then hand to DH and tell him that him and DD can cook it together over the weekend as some father daughter bonding thing

Ha! Good plan. Will do that and will probably have to go out for the afternoon whilst the deed is done. DD has already been poking at the eyes with a skewer and levering open the mouths to look inside... It was all her idea apparently. Y'know, I thought a grown man of nearly 40 would be able to override a little girl of not yet six about what to buy, but no...

Just what every daughter needs - a dad she can wind round her little finger!

You could bung one of them in the freezer.

I´d like say here that we will be to busy making number biscuits (obviously at her request ) to be thinking about cooking fish! She just liked the spots on the plaice and I thought the fish was part of the decoration at the fish counter before I could say Nay.

Oi! This part of Mumsnet is mine. Get thee back to geeky stuff where you belong!!! What is the world coming to when DH posts on a thread I started?
