If you’re wise you want to cook very healthy meals for your children – after all it is their health, so don’t let’ s mess it up. Small chidren are a doddle – there really is only one rule – never give them dried food substitutes or complete meals in a bottle – we wouldn’t eat it so why should they. Its a different matter however when it comes to teenagers. Wonderful parents never have this problem, only real ones and believe me I am a real parent.
In my nievity I thought if you bring your children up to enjoy good food, to help prepare it, get involved in it, see food being grown or produced, to know what nutrients did what in your body, teenage meals would also be a doddle. Not a bit of it. I still insist he eats a good breakfast and he always gets a meal cooked from scratch most night, we go out to eat in our local restaurants and at a push we will very ocassionaly get an Indian take away and I use SiansPlan (is the new organic) system to plan my meals ahead. But FISH never. Not since he was about 12 years of age has he eaten FISH. So imagine my surprise when he said on the way to school this morning – ‘I woke up in he middle of the night last night and fancied FISH for dinner tonight’, I nearly crashed into the school wall. FISH I said to myself – is my boy growing up? He is seventeen by the way and has just passed his theory driving test – but grown up – well!!!. So when your son asks for fish – he gets fish. Not those horrid frozen fishfingers or battered fish – real fresh fish from the fishmonger.
There is really no need for a recipe for FISH Goujons – good quality fresh fish – no smell, skinless, boneless and very white. My fishmonger told me that the haddock was line caught – i should have prodded him for more information but i was in a hurry to get back to cook the FISH before HE changed his mind. And by the way SiansPlan (is the new organic) did allow me the luxury of changing my mind as to what we ate tonight – its called a SiansPlan Amber Day.
The secret to tasty fish goujons is to marinade for no more than 1hr in a little lemon juice and a sprinkling of lemon zest. 1/2 a lemon is enough. Cut the fish into approriate sizes, small children love bite size pieces. Coat the goujons in flour, eggwash and then in fresh breadcrumbs.
Deep fat fry the goujons until golden brown on 160c. Drain on kitchen paper
When Your Son Asks ForFish – He Gets Fish
