When I am in the mood for some crumbed fish, I no longer head to my local takeaway shop. I go straight to my kitchen and cook up a much healthier version – Healthy Crumbed Fish. It’s no secret that eating fast foods can lead to a variety of health problems. They are high in unhealthy fats, way too much table salt and preservatives and often, sugar. Not exactly the best fuels for a healthy body. Give your crumbed fish a healthy makeover at home and you can enjoy this yummy treat without the guilt. Whats more, by simply upping the flavour with good ingredients and spices, as well as using healthier cooking methods, you will be delighted in how your meal tastes.
