Dory Fish with Potato and Mushroom & Cookware Giveaway!


This was supposed to be fish & chips, but the chips was substituted with cold potato salad and brown mushrooms. Instead of deep-frying the battered fish, I shallow-fry crumbed fish followed by oven-baked. Doesn't it sound lighter and healthier in this way? That's our so called healthy balanced diet, hehe...

By the way, I'll be hosting a FREE cookware giveaway soon. If you don't want to miss it, subscribe to my blog to get the latest updates!

  3. Dory fish usually have that muddy taste, but of course, there are different species of Dory, hence not all are bad.

    Anyway, a squeeze of lemon juice would be miles better than a lime, definitely.

  14. foodbin, I will choose frozen Dory than frozen snapper which need "air tupai" to clean.

    tigerfish, thanks. Shallow-frying is a better method. I like it.
