The Mediterranean diet doesn't really eliminate any foods (except that I personally can't have gluten or eggs or anything in the alfalfa family). The foods are on a pyramid with sweets and red meat at the top only eaten occasionally, poultry and dairy eaten a little more frequently, and seafood eaten twice a week or more. Veggies, fruit, healthy oils, whole grains, legumes, and nuts are at the bottom and eaten every day.

What spices, seasonings help get rid of that awful fishy taste? I once had fresh-caught fish in Seattle and loved every single bite of it because it didn't taste fishy. I don't have that luxury here in Oklahoma, unfortunately, at least that I've found.

Not sure which is on your diet lol. One way we love to do fish is what we call fish packs. We put fish on a baking sheet pan in individual tin foil bowls. Then each family member adds the spices they feel like- and then I bake it. This works for the grill too.

What seasoning options do you offer for your fish packs? Also how do you grill your fish so it doesn't fall apart? I think I'd like the flavor of grilled better than anything.
