About

After a day navigating rough waters and working with your hands, you need a meal that will not just fill but rejuvenate. The Fisherman's Dinner can satisfy even the most salt-crusted sailor, with the sweet fish readily absorbing the zesty Cajun seasoning and the tangy, bright lemon flavor. Pan-fried to a tender golden brown, Fisherman's Dinner goes perfectly with some classic potato chips or a pile of roasted vegetables. No matter what, you'll be ready to face the sea again in no time, whether it's a literal sea or not!
