COVID-19 Movement Control – Day 19

I had been waiting for TTDI seafood auntie’s salmon fish but there’s no stock. On my bestie’s advice, today I bought one whole salmon fish from Village Grocer.  Fresh Norwegian Fjord Trout weighed 4.248 kg @$59.99 per kg. So happy that they fillet and individually cling wrap for me.12 pieces of fillets and 2 big pack of salmon head for $255. Will be sharing some with parents and sister.

Making use of the whole salmon fish that I bought today. For tonight dinner, I used the fish head and bones which were so meaty to cook this Salmon Fish Head Noodle. We can also use Grouper fish.

The broth from the fried salmon fish head is very nice, sweet with the nice taste of ginger and spring onions. And it’s healthy food too.
