Cod in my Bod(y)

Cost: $13

Prep: 30 minutes

This meal was quite a bit more expensive that it usually is because of the size of the package of fish. It was 4 cod fillets, and it left Matt with an entire lunch for tomorrow. The package was 800 grams, and we probably would have been better off with about 500 or 600.

Anyway, light egg wash and flowering, fried in canola oil. The fries are McCains. Until I get a mandolin, I can't make my own chips. It just takes way too long adn is too labour intensive. At least we buy the "low-fat" ones that taste crappy.

We mixed up some tartar sauce: 2 parts mayo, 1 part relish. We steamed up some broccoli. We are some fish and chips.

At one point we thought Charlie was putting fish in his toes, but on closer inspection, he was eating his toe lint. Yuck! Oh well, maybe he just isn't a fish person? We did get him to eat a fair amount though.

The only looming problem of this, one of our favorite meals, is the clean up. Just the battering makes a mess, not to mention the amount of dishes. Oh well. Matt does them anyways.

Fish and Chips Redo

Cost: $10

Prep: 30 minutes (including time to batter and fry fish)

I know I know I know this isn't a terribly healthy meal, but we just love it. We get our DHA this way okay?

The cod was dipped in egg and then flour, so the "batter" is almost non-existent or simply very light. It was fried in a 1/4 cup of Canola oil.

The chips are not homemade this time. Until I get a mandolin, that is way too time consuming. We bought the "low-fat" variety though, and ate a large serving of broccoli and peas to try to balance the badness.
