A great introduction to fish for kids. Serve the browned fish fillets cut into bite-sized pieces and the sauce in a small bowl to use as a dip. We tell the kids that fish is a "Smart Food" and play math games throughout dinner with the kids winning more and more math problems as they get 'smarter' and 'smarter' with each bite of fish.
