Going to give this a go I am really going to be out of my comfort zone having this as I can’t stand fish but don’t keep trying it x
I’ll be giving this one a go. Love fish but always tend to stick to my usual recipes. Will be nice to try something different.
Sounds a lovely, different way to jaz up a fish dish. Definitely worth a try next week ?
