What sort of oil?

[Emm]

I have recently been diagnosed with angina.
I have been told to eat oily fish - mackeral, tuna etc.

I can also have white fish - and was wondering what I should fry it in. I am sure I heard something about Olive Oil - but am not certain.
Does anyone know?

I think olive oil is good.

I think the best one to use is the extra virgin olive oil. I have angina and I am currently taking a 'statin' drug to lower cholesterol but would prefer not to take the drug and have been looking at ways to reduce cholesterol through diet. I rarely eat meat nowadays, preferring either fish or vegetarian meals. I think I am right in saying that the tuna needs to be fresh rather than tinned.

It would be even better to grill or bake it Emm.

Try fish this way. Place the fish on to a suitable sized piece of cooking foil together with a bay leaf and seasoning, a little lemon juice and just enough olive oil to stop the fish sticking to the foil. Make up into a parcel loosely so that the fish steams in its own juices. Place in pre-heated oven (180 degrees centigrade) for 20 to 35 minutes according to size. Undo parcel eat and enjoy.

That's often how I cook my fish VM. That's given me an idea, salmon tonight I think with a salad and Jersey Royals.

And Asparagus Daisy?

[DaisyB]

I sometime add raw asparagus to salads, I think the young tips taste even better raw.

Thanks VM, I shall try that.

I hadn't thought about grilling, Daisy!!
!
Pam - my doctor gave me a diet sheet.
I am on tablets for high colestral, too - I had been having cheese and ice cream every day - not together, I hasten to add!!!
Apparently, all white meat is fine to eat.

Many thanks, everyone.
