Thanks to rising cholesterol numbers, my husband and I went completely vegetarian (although we did eat fish) for a month. We found it a bit too extreme, so now we try to have a vegetarian dinner at least two nights per week. One night we will do pasta with vegetables, like zucchini, peas or pasta fagioli. Sometimes we will have spinach and red beans with a bit of broth. One or two other nights, we'll have seafood.

I've been experimenting with both swai and tilapia. They are nice and tasty, very mild. I also have learned to make a very good risotto with shrimp and scallops. Last night I coated tilapia with a mixture of panko, shredded cheddar and spices and broiled it. Not bad, but I prefer grilling it in a foil pouch.
