I do not like fish. In fact, I dislike fish so much that I would rather join Andrew Zimmern on one of his culinary adventures, or even have to sit and talk to Rachael Ray for an hour about Jaahn and his love of verdant herbs than eat fish. Scratch that. I could stomach fish over Rachael Ray, any day.I have a kid who loves anything and everything fish. He will eat anything from fresh caught salmon to 99¢ fish sticks. Good for him, bad for me. The problem is, we have a rule in our house that you eat what you get and you do it with a smile on your face. Everyone is given one exception... as long as they take a bite first. The exception can only change once a year (so that way they don't try to change it from meal to meal) and it is the only time I will make something different because someone doesn't like what I cooked.
We are having catfish for dinner tonight. I will be making Tabbouleh for myself, and I might roast some chicken breast to toss in. I still have to try the catfish, though. Wish me luck.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't enjoy listening to Rachel Ray!
What a nice fair way to make sure everyone tries everything. And good for you for sticking with that rule, even when I doesn't go your way!

I have tried to like her, but I just can't. Isn't that horrible? lol

Thanks! My kids are pretty adventurous when it comes to food, and I think it is because they have had to be. lol
Eating the fish just about killed me, though. Yuck!
I've lived here basicly all my life LOL and I can't stomach catfish....how did you like it?

Not at all. Thankfully, I only had to take one bite. lol
I ended up cooking them in cracker crumb breading, the way my FIL does.
I stand by my yuck! lol
