Frozen squid not cheap in land locked prairie land! Cheaper than getting a take away, but not budget. Lastly I really wouldn’t say this was a ‘budget’ meal as Jamie advertised. Overall the flavors were good in the sauce, it was the consistency of fish balls I wasn’t crazy about.
#SWEET AND SOUR FISH COOKING MADNESS PLUS#
Plus I did make a few errors with this meal – I blame the marathon of trash television and dear friend, even the photos are bad! Besides burning a few of the fish balls, I added the peas in too early and added a can of crushed (not the listed chucks) pineapple by accident. I’m going to play around with the ratio of squid and shrimp, probably adding more shrimp. While I started out this post with mixed feelings about this meal, I think that I will probably give this one more try. and a good friend I began this fairly easy, but time-consuming recipe.

I have to say I generally don’t mind his recipes, they are a little vague at times in direction and ingredient measurement (i.e. However let’s step back in time to last Christmas when I received the Save with Jamie cookbook as a gift… Have I captured your attention yet? Lots of ingredients, an under whelming (burnt) result – I’m really selling this recipe 😉 Mostly due to laziness over having to type out the long list of ingredients, but also because I wasn’t overly thrilled with this meal as the photos will show you. I’ve been debating over writing and sharing this post for a while.
