Okay, I’m coming clean here: I don’t enjoy eating fish. My family might just disown me right here and right now. My uncle hosts a pretty popular fishing show here in the Midwest called “Good Fishing“, and my family eats a lot of fish because of that.
Check it out, we caught quite the haul that day. You like my Elvis glasses? Classy!
Oh, and one quick plug: check out my uncle Babe’s Gluten Free Fish Breading! Fry your fish with some of this and lotsa butter, and you should be good to go! With a gluten-free batter, you can make some serious paleo fish recipes!
I grew up catching fish “up north” at the cabin with my Gramps. Then we would soak them in his special solution that got rid of the “fish taste”. Man, I wish I knew what was in that! Vinegar? Baking soda? Magic? Whatever it was, it made the fish taste better to me. That, and the fact that my Granny fried them in lotsa butter! Yeah, the butter helps.
As the years went buy, and I became more educated about Real Food, I quickly learned that (properly sourced) fish is a very healthy food. I ate salmon from my co-op throughout my pregnancies so I could achieve optimal baby-brain-growing powers!
Again, my co-op had to make it taste good. I could not. I tried. I failed.
So, fast-forward and I am now trying my best to get my kids (and myself) to eat fish on the regular. I decided to enlist some of my blogger buddies. I begged for their best fish recipes “that don’t taste like fish”. They obliged. Let’s do this! I want everyone to enjoy tasty, easy paleo fish recipes.
