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).

Shirataki Noodles in Miso Tofu Soup with Salmon

Shirataki Noodles are quickly becoming one of my favorite things. They are easy to prepare and can replace just about any pasta dish without the carbs or calories.  Today I had a taste for Ramen but I would rather not have the calories or carbs that came with. Instead, I found Kikkoman's Tofu Miso Soup, added the noodles, salmon and seaweed and I was in Heaven.  Even my 2 year old couldn't get enough.  Pescatarian Approved!
