Fishy Fish

I had a bit of a hard time with the fish this week, which was unexpected because generally I like fish. I bought some frozen flounder filets at Walmart and we had some with rice on Tuesday and I could hardly stomach it. This fish had a super fishy taste. Ever since I learned that the really fishy flavor of fish is a sign of how old it is, I imagine that I'm eating rotten fish, especially with something like flounder that is supposed to have a mild taste. I guess that's what happens when you buy frozen fish from Walmart in the middle of winter in Colorado. No hope of getting fresh fish here at this time of year. I shoulda stuck with canned tuna.

On the plus side I learned how to make fish tacos for dinner tonight to try and disguise the gross fishy taste. I've never had fish tacos before and they were really yummy, aside from the fish part. The cabbage and onions in lime juice in a heated corn tortilla were delicious, but only sort of hid the fish.

I've been sick for the first half of this week so that made eating less easier. Plus I didn't go out of town or do anything exciting food-wise for New Years. I'm hoping for a good number on the scale tomorrow morning!
