Fish Friday

Image
Since I'm trying to stay away from red meat and meat in general as much as I can, I have been eating more fish than ever in my whole life. For devoted Catholics, Fish Friday is a part of Lent. But what if you can start your health journey  by staying away from meat every Friday? I want to leave that for you to ponder on. It is just one of my suggestions on starting a healthier lifestyle slowly. Anyways, since I started this health journey, I have been eating the same kinds of fish. Salmon & mackerel are among the usuals. Living in London, I have seen fruits, vegetables & fish that I haven't seen or even heard before. I have tried some new vegetables and I decided to try a new fish. It is called Lemon Sole. Sounded really funny so I told the fishmonger I'll try a piece of it. Plus, it is cheap! It is like 2 gbp/3 usd per piece. Apparently, it is a native to Europe. No wonder it is new to me. And be...
