Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
Hi Linda, I always buy fresh fish which has only just been packaged, because we don't have any Fish Mongers where I live, but I do love Haddock, Salmon/Sea Bass.I love fresh Crab, which I always have every year when I go to Devon, can't stand the tin stuff.

I normally can't stand the tinned stuff either. I mean, canned seafood? Disgusting. The worst seafood thing I've ever eaten out of a can is shrimp. That's just wrong. Although I do use canned clams. However, these tinned crab claws really surprised me. It's the only tinned crab meat I've ever liked. They may be tinned, but they taste so fresh. Maybe because they're kept chilled and not heat-packed to be left sitting on the shelf of a grocery.24-01-2018, 04:57 PM

No, I don't have any of the tinned crab right now. It's pretty expensive, so that's a rare treat for me, like lobster is. I make a crab salad using imitation crab. I'll attach a pic to show you what it looks like. Sometimes I put it in wraps or on a sub sandwich and sometimes I put it over a lettuce salad or make crab-stuffed avocado.

It isn't anywhere near as delicious and succulent as actual crab meat, but it's pretty tasty, makes a good replacement and, most of all, it's affordable. No, it doesn't taste exactly like crab, but for an imitation, it's pretty similar. Its technical name is surimi and it's made from Alaskan Pollock and other seafoody things like small amounts of crab meat (the brand I use has extracts of blue crab, snow crab and even lobster) plus it also has anchovy and sardine oil. 1/2 cup is only 80 calories and 0 saturated fat. I love the stuff.Have you ever had Monkfish? Here in the states we call it "poor man's lobster" because although Monkfish can be pretty pricey, it's not as expensive as lobster. And, when cooked perfectly, it has a sweet, firm texture that resembles lobster. It's difficult to find around here, though. But when I run across it, I have to grab some.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
Never had Monkfish before always wanted to try it as its a meaty chunky fish, but you can't get it over here, and if you do its so expensive.Today back to healthy eating.
Fresh Salmon Steak, boiled potatoes, cauliflower cheese and fine beans.
