Unexpected Lessons From My First Fish Filleting Experience

In the kitchen, I usually opt for easy meals: sheet pan veggies and meat I can throw in the oven for 20 minutes, prepackaged salads and, as a last resort, microwavable instant meals. Sometimes I struggle with adding fresh protein sources to my meals, feeling too busy or tired after a long day of work to go through the hassle of handling raw meat or fish. Recently, I gained some hands-on practice with local seafood, because I hoped to learn how to simplify that hassle.
