Pescatarian Diaries: Frozen Finds


Maintaining a vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, vegan or just about any restrictive lifestyle can be a challenge if you are living in a remote area.  Here at Polk it is difficult to get fresh seafood, certain specialty items or specific brands.  Despite not being able to get everything that I would like, I have been able to find some good options. One of my favorites is a 2lb bag of frozen tilapia (I get it at the Commissary for about $6.79). 


There are two vacuumed sealed bags with 6 pieces of fish each, which means you are only spending about .56 per serving (that is, if you have access to a Commissary, I have not checked the price at the Walmart here). 
My favorite prep is very easy and so good.  Olive oil, pepper, soy sauce and garlic in a pan with a small amount of salt (soy sauce already has a high sodium content so don't add too much). Let it cook on medium heat until in flakes apart and turns a nice white on the inside. Very simple, delicious and fast.
I paired mine with a yummy salad and the entire process took no more that 10 minutes (including salad prep).
