Fish is a funny food. It really seems to polarise people. The lovers and well, let’s just say the not so lovers, as I really discourage any negative words about food. The not so lovers often don’t like to touch or smell it, but most of the time it’s simply a case of forgetting to add it in to the weekly shop or menu plan. It’s just off the radar. There’s no regular anchor to it, to make a habit. Ok. ok. Enough of the maritime puns. It’s time to boost your betterness and bring on the Ultimate Fish Faves this Heart Week.
At a recent bloggers cooking class hosted by Brand Meets Blog on behalf of the Heart Foundation, we cooked mackerel and discussed making fish your dish. Blogger Carly did a fab wrap up post of the event here. I also re-discovered the deliciousness that is the Heart Foundation Recipe library. And of course just had to do this edit for you lovelies.

If your kids don’t like the taste of fish, try masking with aromatics or wrapping up the familiar way in a tortilla or taco.
Aim for at least 2 fish meals a week. One of these divine dinners + canned fish for lunch per week is a simple rule. Which recipe are you clicking on this Heart Week?
