Reef Fish Burger
fillet-o-fish but make it sexier 🐟👄
now this was one of the more interesting/random food requests I’ve gotten since we started the What Do You Want To Eat series on nOm (@nomies.co). I was recently led on an engaging tour along the intertidal shore of Changi Beach by NParks Citizen Scientist & volunteer, Doreen Foo . As part of this, she was showing me the rich biodiversity of marine life scattered around Singapore’s waters, as I squealed upon seeing little aquatic creatures such as the pink warty sea cucumber & species of starfish.

I also included a recipe for tartar sauce including step of making mayonnaise from scratch - this beats store-bought mayonnaise anyday, IMO. however, feel free to use supermarket mayo if you prefer.
