Oat Rolled Not Cod

At the time of first writing this post – early August – I was ploughing through this Viking project, trying to fast, build strength and watch a ton of Norse themed Netflix. 

I returned to Craig Brooks’ Eat Like a Viking cookbook, a guide to 9th century eating, and picked out Oat Rolled Cod. I only had Basa, though, a fish native to south-east Asia. Hardly Norse. Yeah, they would have traded non-perishables like fabric and spices… but not fish. Oh well. A fairly simple recipe: beaten eggs help the oats to stick to the fillet of fish. Fry for a few minutes each side. 

Plain, but filling. Ready from scratch in 20 mins.
