My fishy week!

[*EB*]

Not a fan of tinned tuna - did you have tinned or steaks Allie?

 

[*EB*]

I dont like the tinned stuff but fresh steaks are yummy!

 

[sallyannetag]

I love both but tinned is all I can afford at the minute. Going to make up some pasta and tuna with some passata, chilli and garlic in it for tomorrows lunch. I just dont have time in the morning (or funds) to buy smoked salmon etc. So i figure if I have two fishy meals a day that should suffice?

I found a lot of fishy deals in Tesco last night - and was very lucky so i bulk bought and froze some!!!

2 packs of Tuna on yellow stickers so discounted!
King Prawns are on an offer £3 instead of £6
I got Value Salmon at £3 for about 6 smoked slices (large thin ones)
I got Fishsticks - 16 for 80p (a local value brand i think!)
The Saucy Fish Co. packs are 2 for £6 instead of £4 each!

i weigh in tomorrow.. im not hopeful tbh. I tried so hard, but i think iv over gone on my syns and i was forced to eat a brownie at celebratory drinks earlier, despite saying no. I hate peer pressure.

How many syns are the The Saucy Fish Co. Elle? Or does it depend on which one it is?

Totally depends on which one you have - they are online if you need to check them!!! xxx

I made a fish pie last night - i melted some philli light in the pan with garlic, pepper, broccoli and carrots in it. Then threw in some chopped up fish. I put this in the bottom of a shallow dish then layered some boiled baked potato on top and grated l/f cheese on top of that! It tasted lovely but the sauce I had the fish in turned into what looked like scrambled egg! Anyone know where I went wrong?

 

[Safia]

Maybe you didnt bring the phili up to boil x

 

[sallyannetag]

Aye that could be it right enough. I just kept chucking things into it, like carrots, broccoli then the fish mix! Supposed to having prawn curry tonight but might use up the rest of the fish mix and come up with something unusual!!!

 

[Safia]

That always happens to me when i use any diary in my dishes because i bring it up to boil too quickly and dont stir it x

 

[Derbynanny]

You shouldn't boil the philly or it will curdle all the fat free dairy seperates in recipes if boiled it shoudl only ever be just warmed through.

 

[Safia]

Thanks derbynanny didnt know that x

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

i lost 2lbs on my fishy week. i think it should have been more, personally. . thats a 'normal' loss for me.. (when i actually try that is lol) so im not overly impressed. I was suprised how easy i found the first 4 days though.

anyways, im back to normal EE now.. good luck to everyone else!

 

[sallyannetag]

thanks derbynanny for that info - didnt realise that! Well I had the rest of the fish mix just panfried in fry light with some garlic and chilli, i had it with some sliced potatoes with garlic on and veg!
