BUT, battered or fried and they'll happily munch it down.

I also tried cooking these in the oven. I preheated my oven to 200 degrees Celsius,
place the fish on baking paper and sprayed with oil. They took about 25 minutes to cook, but the
consensus was that the fried ones were much better. The ones baked in the oven were drier and not
as brown.

Our kids love carrot chips with SCD crumbed fish. I also cut up calamari tubes into strips, and when cooked, I throw a handful of almondmeal over them and toss. It makes for a quick meal.
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Thanks for sharing. :)
DeleteJust curious, what type of oil did you use?
ReplyDeleteBefore I went Paleo, I always used Canola oil. These days I use either macadamia or olive oil. :)
