Bite On It!

I had the worst case of nausea during my pregancy. My appetite was really poor and I lost a lot of weight during my the 1st and part of my 2nd trimester. When my appetite begin to get better, I started craving for sourish food. For most of my pregnancy, I was staying at my mom’s place as my PiggyBeng has to travel and MIL is in Germany with SIL, so there isn’t anyone to take care of me. Therefore, PiggyBeng sent me back to my parents’ place… it was a wise decision…

From what I’ve read, fish is a good source of Omega 3 and it is good to consume at least 2 fish meals a week especially during pregnancy. Therefore, mom tried to prepare adequate portion of fish for my diet. That was when I discovered mom’s fried fish recipe which I fell in love instantly… and my appetite was better than before! The special ingredient? Lemon!
