Being married to someone from another country often means the foods you remember from your childhood are completely foreign to your husband/wife.
Whilst I grew up looking forward to fairy bread at parties, Jesse thinks that sprinkles and bread should never be seen together and whilst Jesse remembers fairs and funnel cakes, I wondered why on earth someone would want a cake in the shape of a seldom used kitchen accessory.
Over the eight years we've been together, we've both learnt a lot about the different foods of each other's childhood - and I've had lots of fun recreating Southern dishes in my own Southern In Law way.
These cheesy fish bites were one of those recreations. Jesse and I were talking about what healthy fish recipes we could come up with for Lent as we've had lots of readers around the globe asking us for suggestions as they give up meat for the lent period.
Jesse mentioned hush puppies and I was instantly inspired! For some reason I thought that hush puppies were some kind of corndog creation, however, Jesse told me they were basically fish in a cornbread batter that's deep fried.
I decided I wanted to make a healthy hush puppies recipe, however, one of our readers had also asked me for low carb and healthy kid friendly fish recipes so I decided to combine all of those ideas into one to make these Cheesy Fish Bites!
Made in a cake pop maker (or a mini muffin tin if you don't have one!), these bite-sized treats are seriously addictive and so much fun! They've got a crunchy outside with a soft, fluffy interior - and even the most serious fish hater will find themselves reaching for more.
So let me share the recipe with you! >>
