Fishin’ for dinner

Today I took my Mom to some of my favourite food stores.

We loaded up on fresh produce and intriguing ingredients and came back here, where I made fish tacos for dinner.

Here in Canada, fish tacos aren’t a thing like they are in the States.  It’s because we’re not close enough to the water, I suppose.  But I do love and crave them and so I thought it was time to give into that feeling.

I patted fresh sole with panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and a medley of creole spices.  I made fresh guacamole and put out bowls of diced yellow tomatoes, sliced scallions, crisp red leaf lettuce, organic pea shoots, spicy salsa and rice and beans I made quickly, finishing with cilantro and lime juice.

It was so much fun and despite being very filling, it was  not at all heavy, which was nice after having a paella-bellowed tummy the night before.

I love that you can make anything that you’re craving.

Though it didn’t quite quell my desire to open a fish taco stand… stay tuned.
