The Price Of Fish
I like fish - fish is tasty, but sometimes I think that fish can be quite expensive. Our family probably spend more money on fish a week than we do meat. Dad likes eating fish so we eat it nearly everyday. Fish that I like to eat... Salmon, Sea Bass, Dover Sole, Turbot, Halibut, Grey Mullet, Whiting, Cod, Haddock and the list goes on. But fish is quite expensive, but its good for you and much tastier than a beef steak (but then I have this aversion to eating things that go moo). Mum has this thing for wanting to make salt fish - maybe because she is remisincing about the old days in China when they had to dry their own fish. So when we were down in at the local chinese supermarket Mum bought a load of scary looking frozen fish and then in another part of the freezer section were a pile of frozen fish heads - Golden Snapper at £1.50 for a head - they must have been like more than a kilo in weight each and that to me, I imagine is a pretty big fish and its not particularly attractive either.
