Barbecued Sweet and Sour Blue – Eye
This is another low carb recipe it is a lot higher in the carbs than some of the recipes I have been posting lately but it is then again a lot lower in fat content too. I usually make this with blue eye cod but any kind of cod would be fine, Blue eyed cod is also known as deepsea trevalla, blue eye trevalla and blue eye. I love the taste of this fish to me it makes for very good eating. This recipe works out to be about 25.7g Carbohydrates, 45.3g protein and 4.8g total fat of which 1.4g is saturated fat.
