Fish on Friday

On Fridays, I always go over to Como to cook dinner for C and E.  This saves them thinking about food after a busy working week.  Straight away, E asks what's for dinner. I usually tell her, but this week I said it's a surprise and it's something we've never had before. She took Rocky out for a walk, whilst I got busy in the kitchen. This was the menu:

Baked Fish Heads

Spaghetti Marinara

Fruit Salad.

The Fish Heads were not well received!  E felt intimidated by the fish eye staring up at her from the plate, even though I had tried to cover it up with onion slices! I told her that the "meat" inside the head was supposed to be very tasty and extremely nutritious (albeit in short supply and not easy to dig out).

Because they are not very popular in the shop, Kailis sells them much more cheaply than other cuts of fish. These were 2 big pink snapper heads. 

C ate hers politely, but E couldn't deal with hers at all. In the end, I took her portion home to enjoy next day with some rice:


This barramundi is more like the normal dinner I produce on a Friday:

Skin-on barramundi with black rice and salad.

Well, it was an interesting experiment.
