SEAFOOD FRIED RICE

I made this dish only because I purchased a frozen seafood mix and asked myself, what shall I cook with this calamari, shrimp and fish? This is how the brilliant idea of making a fishy rice happened! I was making up the recipe in my head as I went along LOL so this is an experiment meal. I added everything fishy and I was not disappointed. Growing up I remember that for some reason we ate only fish during Easter, so I was thinking up ideas of meals for Easter. When my husband tasted this, he said "this is what I want to Eat on Easter Day". Ah...no problems here, I want to east it too again. Try it and let me know what you think!
