Catfish Nugget

Farm raised Catfish Nuggets
Catfish Nuggets Treat
Its a hot day.  I opt for  indoor entertainment. Catfish Nuggets, friends and moi!  As they are of short preparation time I'm assured to have this dish completed in time for guests arrival.  The excessive heat will not be a bother to us as we sit absorbing cool indoor air and engaging our palate with this marvelous lite tasting treat of catfish nuggets.  I prepare these quite often as they make for great finger food. These tasteful strips of fish seasoned with lemon pepper and dusted with brown flower are a quick fix in olive oil. . .They're light and airy to the palate.  Very low caloric intake..80 per 4 oz. serving Each bite affords your body magnesium, potassium and protein all quite beneficial to the body. How wonderful they taste dipped in cocktail sauce.  It's such a wonderful treat for the soul

Red Alaskan Salmon


Red Alaskan Salmon
Salmon
Let’s talk “SALMON” That wild red Alaskan type.   I think it’s the “wild red” that peaks my permanent interest as I eat this fish on the regular.  There is no other salmon in taste that can top red Alaskan.    The pretty firey red orange color is breath taking.  That color incorporates high levels of heart healthy Omega 3 fatty acids.  Salmon also supply’s our body with loads of DPA and EPA necessary for combating disease such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes.  Salmon is an excellent source of protein.  The nutrients in Salmon help in maintaining great skin as well.  While purchasing I visualize myself in the Alaskan streams and rivers watching these well tasting fish prepare for a trip to Tracie’s kitchen.   Me realizing my salmon has been flash frozen upon catch to secure its quality and freshness until baked.  I honestly believe the pieces I purchase from my local fish market expect to see me at the end of their long journey from Alaska.  As pretty as they look in my bowl I can hardly wait to eat this delicate tasty treasure of a fish.
