I made this for dinner for the first time and my family enjoyed it. My 6 year old was not too happy about having to eat fish, but when she tasted it she gave me a thumbs up. Then she ate half of her little brother's fish and asked me if we could make it tomorrow. We'll be making this again soon, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
