Something fishy

Coming from the Mediterranean, I love fish and most seafood. Growing up, there was always fresh fish served at the table. My mother had to work hard to keep the smell only in the kitchen and away from our living room. She didnt always succeed but the food was so delicious we did not care in the end. However, up until a couple of years ago I avoided fish with any kind of bones. As a kid I had a terrifying experience that kept me away from fish for a long time, and even though my parents tried to serve boneless fish, it took me a while to get over it. 

And I am glad I got over it, because in the last four years I have tasted some of the best fish in my life. And my husband had something to do with that. In Goa, where he is from, delicious and fresh fish is a part of everyday life.

Fish is not only tasty it is also very healthy and salmon is a particular favorite.
Below are some of my favorite home cooked or restaurant meals with seafood:
