Seafood-phobes: There's Hope Yet

As you may know, I am not a fan of seafood.

I've tried.

I will eat shrimp, crab, scallops and lobster on occasion but they're never my first choices.

 

Yesterday for dinner I was feeling kind of sick of the standard chicken/beef dishes I've been making.

I decided to venture outside my comfort zone a little and buy some fish.

I'm trying to up my protein intake a bit and fish is great with all it's protein and omega 3s and 6s.

While perusing the frozen section I came across these little beauties by Cedar Bay:

 

I bought one of each, figuring if I was going to try to be a fish-phile I'd need something heavily seasoned, spiced, and flavoured.

I overcooked them a bit which (for me) turned out to be a blessing.

 

I actually enjoyed them.

The Sugar & Spice seasoning was delicious but I have to give the top award to the Applewood with Orange & Ginger flavouring.

It was delicious.

I ate salmon and didn't make a face once.

I even ate everything on my plate!

 

Maybe my palate is growing up?

 

For someone who hasn't liked seafood ever in their 28 years on this planet (save for the fishsticks I ate as a kid which doesn't count cause I was young and those things are so heavily breaded they couldn't taste bad) this is a miracle.

 

For anyone else who dislikes fish but wants to incorporate it into their diet: don't give up! There's hope!

 

Look for these cedar planked salmon packages in the frozen fish section.

There's a bunch more flavours on the website that - so strangely in my mind - I want to try.

 

Give them a try!
