Tilapia, aka St. Peter's Fish, is a member of the cichlid family (yes, it's a relative of those cute aquarium fish) and is one of the most popular fish in America. With its sweet and mild white flesh, it's a very easy fish to like! These recipes are ideal for the Easter season and for any other time you want an easy and delicious seafood meal on your table.
Last week we turned the spotlight on a collection of terrific tilapia recipes, and shared a new recipe for some really amazing shrimp-topped deviled eggs.
On the blog, we took a look at the issue of Kosher and non-Kosher fish, and shared some thoughts on Earth Day.
Have a delicious week!
Easy and Amazing Shrimp Deviled EggsListen up: Whether you're a brain surgeon, an air traffic controller, or a Tiffany lamp juggler, I want you to drop what you're doing and make these now. Seriously. I guarantee you'll have some of the best deviled eggs you've ever tasted. (I can't, however, guarantee that you'll have a job afterward.)
If you absolutely must wait, I suppose you could make these shrimp-topped, Old Bay-seasoned goodies as an appetizer for your holiday guests.Still, time's a wasting. You'll just have to choose what's more important to you -- good food or a good job!
Seen from space, our planet glows not green, but a deep azure blue. The waters that cover and cool the Earth also nourish us with a rich pageant of diversity. And while it once seemed that the ocean was infinite, its bounty endless, and that Man's actions could never defile it, we've seen time and again the error of those beliefs.
Poor stewardship decisions have led to the twin perils of pollution and over-harvesting. And though Nature has an almost miraculous ability to bounce back, it needs our active participation in its recovery.
Starting this Earth Day, let's all try to be a bit kinder to this generous planet of ours. By taking the time to consider the true cost -- not just the price -- of our buying, eating, and disposal choices, we can make decisions that will help ensure a healthy future for our beautiful blue home -- and ourselves.
It's a pretty darn comprehensive list, too. If you ever come face to face with a Monkeyface prickleback, or run into a Scorpionfish (not literally, though -- they're crazy venomous), you'll know that, yes, it's okay to eat them.
Regarding Passover (when some foods that are Kosher any other time of the year become off limits), fresh fish are acceptable without special Passover certification. Canned, frozen, or otherwise processed fish, however, do require Passover certification.
