Sizzlefish Review, Recipe Ideas, and My First Open Water Swim...

AHHHHHHH! I cant believe #TEAMTAGYOURIT will be in Georgia for Ironman Augusta in less than 20 days, OMG! I had my first open water swim session on Saturday morning at the Connick Triathlon Center, which is a local triathletes personal property that he has turned into a Tri Center for local peeps. Its amazing!



Coach Ali and I hit the water for a quick .6 mile swim. I really wanted to see how I would do in open water as far as breathing. Breathing was fine, but I was having problems with sighting:( I kept swimming to the right and not straight, so this week I will be practicing sighting at the pool. It was a great way to see what I need to work on before IMAugusta.


One of the main things that I have heard from many triathletes in training is keeping your diet balanced is key to a great race. I have been making sure I eat a well balanced diet of protein, carbs, and fats. One of my favorite ways of getting protein in my diet is eating fish. Growing up on the Gulf Coast, fish was always a staple food in our diet. I remember eating fish at least twice a week growing up. As I have gotten older and now have my own family, I try to feed my kids fish twice a week. Its the perfect brain food for kids.

So when I was given the chance to review an awesome company called Sizzlefish, I jumped on it.

Sizzlefish is perfectly portioned fish for easy, healthy meals, flash frozen and shipped directly to your door step. Yep that's right! Dinner is served!

I was super excited when my package arrived in the mail.
 

Opening it was like Christmas morning. I couldn't wait to see what deliciousness was about to come out of this cooler. I was also curious as to how they kept the fish frozen while in transit. So I opened it and #boommmmmm...
 

There was 7 different types of fish including:
Catfish
Haddock
Coho Salmon
Atlantic Salmon
Rainbow Trout
Sablefish
Atlantic Cod

Living on the Gulf Coast my whole life, I have eaten many types of fish including most of what was in this package. However I was then curious as to how "fresh" it would taste once cooked. So I made different dishes over the past few weeks. Here are some of them...

Pan seared Haddock over sauteed spinach topped with crispy turkey bacon...
 

Atlantic Salmon grilled topped with feta cheese
 

Baked Catfish with Cajun seasoning served with Cajun mayonnaise with chopped peanuts and a side of scalloped potatoes. (My 7 yr olds favorite) (Cajun Mayo: Mayo, Sriracha sauce, stirred)
 

Grilled Rainbow Trout served with jalapeno hummus and lintel crackers from Mediterranean Snack Co.




Pan Fried Coho Salmon in coconut oil served with a side of fig and strawberry jelly and broccoli.
 

Steamed Atlantic Cod in a broccoli bowl topped with low sodium soy sauce.
 

Grilled Sablefish topped with local honey (LOCALS: Sweetser's Native Honey, Grand Bay, AL Email: [email protected]) and unsweetened coconut flakes.


The awesome people over at Sizzlefish also sent me a couple grilling planks. I had never used these before, but let me tell you they are amazing. They kept the fish nice and moist while they were on the grill.
 

Sizzlefish is the perfect way to bring delicious fish to your families table. So how does it work?

Go to www.Sizzlefish.com and choose which seafood box your interested in. (I was sent the Omega-3 Protein Mix package.) Add it to your cart. Pay. Wait a couple days. Start cooking, ENJOY!

I hope you guys will check it out. I am super excited about ordering my next box.
