Loopeylou's EE Food Diary

[Loopeylou]

Had a great first day back on track apart from an iffy dinner....trying to do a fishy week ( or mostly fishy week! ) but generally don't cook much fish at home.
I decided to be really brave and cook Sea Bass ( head and all!! )....I roasted some veg and them place the bass ( stuffed with lime and herbs ) onto veg and roasted....cooked perfectly but omg the bones etc was so off putting for both myself and hubbie.
Oh well we tried but will def stick to de-boned and skined etc in future lol

Hiya hun! Your menu sounds lovely hun. Although I'll agree with you, sea bass fillets are the way forward! Loooooove sea bass though, yum yum! xx

Yep...the sea bass was delicious when i'd spent what seemed like hours taking the bones out....some were like little shards and I hate finding them in my mouth!!! lol

 

[dudette2001uk]

Me too! I get really paranoid about choking on fish bones! Very off-putting when you're trying to eat, lol! xx

 

[Loopeylou]

I know ....my poor hubbie was pulling out bones and pulling faces which then made me laugh causing me to swallow my food the wrong way and ended up choking / coughing due to that lol

Fish bones are evil!! Definitely puts me off finishing eating when I find a fish bone. When I used to eat meat it was the same when I found gristle, I couldn't finish the meal :jelous:

Cool of you to be so adventurous tho!! And glad you managed to enjoy it too

 

[prawnchopSuey]

Snap! It totally ruins a meal for me if there's bones in it - it puts me off ordering fish in restaurants as you never know if it'll be a fillet or a whole fish.
Apparently in a supermarket with a fish counter you should be able to ask the staff to fillet it for you. A proper fishmonger would as well I'm sure but I don't think I have one local.

I have made a menu plan for a fishy week but am copping out for the moment! Maybe in a couple of weeks I might attempt it

 

[donnajt]

I am not a fish fan, that's strictly not true - i just don't know how to cook it well and i hate the smell, as for bones, my poor dad had one stuck in his throat, it had to be surgically removed - ouch!
