Went to the supermarket to get some vegetables and salmon; it is too expensive. Then my eyes caught these herring fillets in mango pepper sauce. I had never had this fish before; though it’s expensive, it’s cheaper than salmon, and it’s already cooked. I asked the fishmonger if I just warm it up and eat it. Well, the fishmonger told me I can eat it just like this. He gave me tiny bits to try. I bought it, but I still preferred to warm it up. I also bought this liscio piccolo 40 pasta because its name is strange to me.

Google: “Australian herring- A staple fish for recreational fishers in the south of the State, and historically
for commercial fisheries, Australian herring is a popular species with a life cycle dependent on prevailing currents. Although named after their superficial resemblance to the herring found in the Northern Hemisphere, Australian herring are actually a member of the perch family (family Arripidae) rather than a true herring (family Clupeidae). Herring contains the vitamin B12, which supports many functions throughout the body, including proper brain function and healthy nerve cell maintenance. Together with folate (vitamin B9), it helps the body create red blood cells.”

I am glad to tryout this herring fillets. It tastes better when I recooked it together with vegetables and pasta. My dinner must always have chili sauce and chili flakes. The bowls with a lot of parsley had chili sauce and chili flakes. The meal had crunchy carrots, colourful, comforting and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
