Did you know ... Snow peas are also known as Chinese pea pods since they are often used in stir-fries. They are flat with very small peas inside; the whole pod is edible, although the tough "strings" along the edges are usually removed before eating. Snow peas are mildly flavoured and can be served raw or cooked.
We like to eat them, and they do go so well with fish, so when I saw this recipe I thought ... yum!
Ingredients:
Serves Four
7g carb per serving
1¾ lbs / 800g white fish
½ teaspoon salt
3 oz. / 75g butter

Tips:
Of course, if preferred snow peas can be replaced with other low-carb vegetables such as courgette/zucchini, cauliflower or broccoli.
Make good use of the leftover lemon juice! Feel free to sprinkle a few drops over the fish if you’re looking for an extra punch of citrus flavour!

Hello, the fish and snowpeas look delicious. The flowers do look cheerful, lovely image.
Enjoy your day and weekend!
Good Morning, The flower bouquet is so cheerful. We love fish. Thanks for the recipe. I confess, I've never prepared snow peas at home. I'll have to try some this spring/summer.
Looks like a great light lunch, minus the dressing for me :)
I have never heard of snowpeas before!
I am intrigued...I simply have to try this super recipe.
Many thanks for sharing this.:))
Looks delicious, I've also been using sugar snap peas lately, I get them pre trimmed in a package. Thanks for the flowers too.
It looks lovely, a nice light dinner for the warmer months.
This looks really delicious. And it reminds me that we are overdue for a nice fish meal.

I grow snow peas in my summer vegetable garden. I like them better than regular peas. I'm always on the lookout for good recipes involving them, and this is a wonderful recipe even this vegetarian can appreciate and try. I love that you shared this with us Jan.
Also thanks for letting me know that "half and half" is also known as "Single Cream." I think my European friends can now understand what I'm talking about. I gave you credit for teaching it to me, too.
Nice to eat, I love mangetout very much, thanks Jan.
Snow Peas are a family favourite and I think this recipe will be too( ha Ha)... Thank you for these wonderful recipes....Hugs
Looks delicious and I love fish.

Hope your weekend has been as great as you are.
This looks so good Jan! Thank you! I hope you had a great weekend!
Hello Jan and thank you for another great recipe!
Wishing you all a happy week! xx
Especially the dip sounds interesting!
I love fish and the dip sounds really good.
We like the snow peas here at my house.
I didn't know these were what snow peas were! I thought they were Mange tout!
Never heard of Snowpeas but I guess they are very closely related to mange-tout?

Hi Phil, many thanks for your comment and question.
Words from this article here explain more about snow peas, snap peas, sweet peas, and mangetout. How are they different from one another? How are they prepared for cooking?
Peas: small, round and green; sold fresh, frozen, dried or canned.
Snow peas: edible whole pods with unripened peas inside; pods rather flat; sold fresh or canned; called chicharo or sitsaro in the Philippines.
Snap peas: like snow peas, edible whole pods with unripened peas inside; pods rounder than snow peas; sold fresh or canned.
Mangetout: a French term for “eat all” refers to both snap peas and snap peas and is descriptive of the characteristics of both of having edible pods.
