Arabic Sayyadeyeh - Quick and Easy Fish Recipe Made From Scratch

I grew up as a Christian Palestinian-Briton in the Lebanon, an Arab country. Fridays were days that we did not eat meat. Sometimes, lentils were served (not like any lentils most Westerners would recognize, I hasten to add), and sometimes fish. It always struck me as odd, this fish thing, as strictly speaking it is meat, but I digress. My grandmother used to stand in the kitchen carefully feeling the fish between her thumb and forefinger, feeling for bones.
