Fish for lunch
Today I made one of my favorite lunches, a mackerel fish spread on toasted bread. It's quite cheap and really simple to make. Just take a can (15 oz or so) of canned mackerel, drain it, remove the skeleton from the fish. In a bowl mix this fish with about quarter cup of mayonnaise, a couple dashes of old bay seasoning an about two chopped sprigs of green onions. The amount of mayo should vary by preference. I like mine just moist enough so that everything hangs together and no more. Same applies to the amount of spice and onions. Even though this is very simple to make, it is quite tasty. All three of my sons like it, but my wife does not. There is something about the fish smell the does not agree with her. Mackerel, sardines, and herring all fall into that class of fishes that do not appeal to her, but catfish, tilapia and salmon do. For a cheap (15 oz can of mackerel is about a $1) and easy to make (about 10 minute prep time) lunch it is quite healthy. Mackerel is one of the fishes that is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, and high in protein. It also is quite tasty, perhaps because the fish is wild and not farmed. Cant really ask for much more in a quick and cheap lunch, except maybe something that doesn't wrinkle my wife's nose, so I could share with her.
