Cole Slaw

Now that grilling season is upon us, I am looking forward to some marinated grilled Marlin. It just has such a great flavor and is something different to mix into the menu. Fish actually is a pretty regular part of our menu. We don't have it weekly all year, but the kids enjoy breaded fish fillets, we like shrimp, we like grilled marlin and more. When I have fish, one of my favorite accompaniments is cole slaw. I know that you can purchase prepared coleslaw from the deli or you could buy a jar of slaw dressing, but it really is very easy to whip up at home. I have had good cole slaw and bad cole slaw (by my perspective), I must say that if you include celery seed, I am out. I like a nice creamy, crunchy slaw. I prefer my cabbage shredded vs chunky or diced. I occasionally will mix in some carrots - matchstick or shredded works. I make my recipe "light" by using a reduced fat Mayonnaise.
