Fish For Breakfast?

Fish. Super loaded with protein. A food that I love but never seem to remember to eat. I suppose because it hasn’t been part of my diet for most of my life (except maybe fried fish), so I never think of it. Especially for breakfast. Never. Not once.

I spent three days home from work this week. I haven’t been sick since 2012 right before I changed my diet. Knowing how it has hit some people at work, I chose to stay home just in case. That gave me some time to do some reading.

One of the things I read was a rather long article by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. He talks of eating nothing but fish. Frozen fish for breakfast, cooked fish for lunch. He lived with some natives on the northern coast of Canada and lived solely on fish for months.

This morning it occurred to me that if he could eat fish for every meal for months, I could give it a shot at breakfast at least once. So this morning while the bacon was cooking, I started a couple of frozen flounder filets thawing. I also chopped some onion up, then I got the garlic, chives, and vinegar ready.

This is what I ended up with:
