MMA Meal: How about fish for dinner?

One of the great qualities to any MMA guy or girl is that they tend to be very disciplined. They also don't seem to mind doing and eating the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. They also seem to eat a LOT of chicken.  If this remotely describes you, or you have often wondered when you will begin growing feathers......you need to switch the diet up a bit. Sure, chicken is lean, easy to cook and generally pretty cheap, but you don't can't eat chicken forever! Grilled fish is such a great alternative to chicken, don't be afraid to try it! Start with something mild like tilapia, swordfish, or grouper. These are white, flaky, and mild flavored. Brush your filet with olive oil, salt, and garlic. Throw it on the grill skin side UP, cook about 2/3 through. Flip it over and cook the other side. DON'T try to slide the fish around. Yes, it sticks to the grill for the first minute or so, but it will come off fine when it is done. Serve with some lime or lemon wedges. You can have fish with rice or couscous, or put it into a taco! (Check the Rudog website for more info on fish tacos). BTW, don't be afraid to ask the guy at the fish counter for advice or about which fish is fresh versus frozen. They have all the right answers and are happy to share them. :)
