Johane offers some tips to enjoy more seafood, simply:

  • If you are a newbie to cooking fish, be sure to start with a fillet, especially if you are going to serve fish to kids.
  • It is easiest to prep fish right after you buy it by marinating it in a freezer-safe container or bag so it is ready to go when you are ready to cook.
