It’s Easter! The only time of year, many of us give up meat for Lent, which is refreshing in the beginning, but let’s face it, the adjustment soon becomes a chore, particularly when we start running out of meal ideas. Are you a Talapia fan? Well, look no further as Jerome has compiled this mouth-watering, quick and affordable fish recipe, just for you! I’m sure you’re well aware that fish is a great source of Omega 3.
