Green fish pan-cake
We are a fishy family…er I mean we can have fish at any time of the day — this is one way of incorporating fish during breakfast or evening snacks. If planning for breakfast, make sure you prep the night before so that the process of making it does not seem tedious due to the rush of the morning hours. We enjoy this with ketchup — do try this and share how you like them!
