Fish on Friday!

I hate fish!

I want to like it, I know it's good for me but I just can't.

Having said that, even though my family isn't religious, we've only ever eaten fish on Good Friday. This is the one day of the year that I will throw caution to the wind and partake in the consumption of our finned friends.

I usually don't feel 100% afterwards but we all have to do things we don't particularly want to do for the greater good (though in this case I'm not sure what the greater good is).

This year, Natasha and I have decided to throw a small dinner party and, HUZZAH, I get to make the main course. Honestly people, who would get someone who hates, no, detests, no, execrates this form of culinary 'delight'?!! I know I certainly wouldn't yet here I am, slowly working my way through countless numbers of websites, looking for 'fish recipes for people who hate fish'.

There's actually a lot of advice for me and my fellow fish haters. Apparently I should start off with a mild flavoured white fish. Four out of the eight websites I have looked at thus far have recommended Halibut...never heard of it. I'm supposed to stay away from strong flavoured fish such as Cod or Salmon.

I don't even know how to cook it! Why are they making me do this?! Do they want to spend the rest of Easter embracing the porcelain purger?

Ah well, what can I do? Naught!

I shall take this challenge and make the most amazing fish feast the world has ever seen. People will flock from the world over to remark at how someone who abhors fish can prepare and present it with such perfect finesse...

Wish me luck...
