If you feel like splurging on fish, halibut is a good bet. This meaty fish is rich in omega 3’s and has a delicate flavour and soft texture when cooked. I like serving it with minimal prep and ingredients so that you can really taste the flavour of the fish. This is great for gluten free, grain-free, mental health and low sugar conditions or diets.
