This was really nice. The fish was very well seasoned and made for a tasty sandwich. Basic fish sandwich with a little cayenne kick! Made and reviewed for Zaar Tag

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
