As the saying goes, “Constant dripping wears out the stone,” I’m always trying to come up with new ways to make eating fish delicious for my kids. I noticed two things: First, the fish shouldn’t have bones, so you have to be very careful with the fish tongs. Second, you need a creamy sauce.
I really like lemon zest, but unfortunately one never knows for sure if it wasn’t caught with nasty troll nets. For sustainable fish consumption, you should therefore purchase local freshwater fish, such as whitefish, if possible. Luckily they don’t have a lot of bones.
