    Veronica, fab recipe. I went fishing on Lake Ontario a couple of weeks ago and caught several BIG fish. The problem became whether or not to eat them as our lake is severely endangered. Fish regulations offer mainly cautions about ingesting too much from the Great Lakes. Such a shame. I will keep your recipe for sea fish later on.
    Have a great weekend coming up.

    Wow! This looks delish. I wouldn't mind having a go at this one! We don't tend to eat a lot of cod, so it would be nice for a change. Great recipe!

    Sounds yummy. I've never tried steaming fish before, but will definitely give this a try.

    P.S. How do you keep up with so many followers? I don't think I've seen anyone else with so many. LOL
