So I didn't actually eat fish until recently and this recipe is something I kind of made up a while ago, adding and editing my mother's recipe. One of the reasons I started trying fish is because my house mate Kate loves it and throughout the year, watching her make various fish dishes I realised how much I was missing out on. My new willingness to try fish has made my mother very happy as every good bengali is a fish lover and I can say with some tentativeness that there will probably be more fish recipes to come. Sadly, just yesterday I moved out of my uni flat and back home as I am no longer a student, the end of an amazing four year era and countless memories Anyways, this recipe is for Kate - so you can make it at home, miss you already x
