I stay away from pregnant friends as much as I can. At least during the night. Don’t get me wrong – pregnancy is a wonderful thing and I’m very happy for them! But there’s one strange thing that all my pregnant friends have had in common. During the day, they are perfectly normal human beings like the rest of us. But during the night, it is a completely different situation.
They turn into these monsters who wake you up in the middle of the night and demand for food that you couldn’t possibly get at the wee hours. And then they would growl at you or cry, whichever works best, if you do not immediately cater to their demands.
Okay, so I am exaggerating a little. The monster thing is a metaphor. But you know what I mean!
I feel a little sorry for their husbands. I have a friend who had to ring my doorbell in the middle of the night just to ask if I have watermelons in the fridge because his wife was demanding for one. It was 2:30 in the morning in the middle of the winter!
Alice is one of those who don’t particularly have midnight cravings. However, she is obsessed with fish. She will devour any fish recipe whenever she sees one.
Her husband says that her recent favorite is this lemon baked cod recipe that her mother made for her one time. And since she always demands it, her husband had to look for a recipe similar to her mother’s.
He was able to find one and he showed me where I can find it. I am sharing the recipe to you in the next page. I hope you will enjoy the recipe as much as Alice and her baby do!

The things about this fish recipe is that it’s not fried so you will not feel guilty in eating more than one piece. It’s easy to eat more than one because that tanginess of the lemon compliments the fish so much, allowing you to crave for more. It’s hard to find fish recipes that will satisfy me, but when I find one, I make sure to never let go of it. This has been one of those recipes!
Our friend over at Food.com has this to say about this recipe:
“I thought this was delicious! I love the tartness of lemon, and I always use real lemon juice, squeezed from a lemon, when I cook.”
Oh my goodness! It was delicious. My first try was a bit soggy though, but all you have to do is allow it to set for a bit so that it will dry out a little. But otherwise, this really tastes so good. I maybe ate a couple of pieces or maybe a three. But who’s counting?
