Diabetic Friendly Fried Fish

I can’t believe it has been five months already in this new apartment. I am starting to get back in to the groove of things in spite of this idiot going around creating havoc in the world and making the country my dad and my great uncle fought for. Now those are truly men of valor.

Not that I am trying to deminish about what these poor souls are going through with unjust wars and I really do pray for them and their families. I really and truly love our vets. I want more of these active duty personal way up to the top brass at the Pentagon to refuse an illegal order. Trump and all of his sycophants must be held accountable for their horrible deeds.

The five time draft dodging devient chomo needs to be dragged to the Hague for war crimes along with his sychophants and Elon Musk must stand trial and be jailed for election interference for rigging the elections here in USA and Germany. I have a hard time sleeping at night worrying about my family especially my grandchildren.

I recently gotten back in to therapy and had a change of therapists again. I feel very comfortable with tele health compaired to in person sessions. This therapist wanted to do in person therapy and her office is too far away plus I am not a morning person and yet here I am at 9:03 CDT here in Chicago writing out my blog post.

So, yesterday I looked on the documents my insurance gave me for the therapists that are in network and found someone that would do tele health I have my first appointment with her tomorrow Inshallah. Now to the recipe.

Ok what you will need is a cast iron skillet for this one and take a lb of either filetes or steaks of fish. However if you use butterfish then you have to fry this whole because there is no way you can go about cooking it otherwise. Butterfish is the only one you have to remove their gills and reach in the opening in its head which is big enough to stick your fingers in and remove the insides of this fish. You may need up to at least 6 of them, The rest of the fish that can be filetd or steaked are salmon, catfish, perch, haddock, cod, tilapia, pomfret, monkfish, whiting, croaker, king fish or mackerel, etcetera.

Wash the fish then add 1 capful of lemon juice to remove the smell. Add 1/4 cup of either corn oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil. avocado oil, or sunflower oil. Add to this either 2 pats of butter or 2 tbs of Desi ghee, The ghee you can buy from any Middle Eastern or Indian and Pakistani grocery store.

Make sure the skillet is very hot before you add the oil and either butter or ghee. Now turn your attention to the fish you can season it now by adding 3 chopped cloves of garlic that has been peeled and washed. Add 1 pinch each of sidr leaves. ceysus herb, mellisa which is lemon balm. this is obtainable at Middle Eastern grocery stores. Add either 1 drop of hot sauce or use 1 chili of any type. Add 3 dashes of Mrs dash or lemon pepper, 3 dashes of either Goya seasonador or adobo which you can buy at any Spanish store or you can use vegtea seasoning instead.

Gently place the seasoned fish in to the hot oil so it does not flame up on you. This happened to me recently when I was making a fish stir fry which I have on this blog too and it is an earlier post. So please be careful in the kitchen especially if you are near a stove. When this happens turn off the burner ASAP. The flame will go out at once. Also make sure the fish does not have a lot of moisture when you add it to the hot cast iron skillet with the oil in it.

Fry until it is all the way done and opaque. If the fish has some skin on it like salmon then you may want the skin a little crispy. This pairs nicely with millet, sorgham, quinoa, fonio, buckwheat or even bulgar. Steamed vegetables of choice like carrots, peas, asparagus or even artichokes are wonderful too. Even a salad is wonderful in place of steamed veggies is awesome too.

Lemonade or even limeade are recommended drinks.
