Thread: Really nice fish recipies

Living in northland and loving fishing I am blessed with an abundance of fish allmost year round, the problem bieng is my creativity when it comes to cooking fish is pretty limited, apart from pan fried in either flour/egg/breadcrumb, or butter or chopped into small chunks and put into a stirfry asian style

my usuals are getting pretty boring and really it is a waste of good snapper/butterfish to let it sit in the freezer
its getting to the point where I have set out on an entire fishing trip to not catch more than 3 fish, as id rather them out there getting bigger than getting freezer burnt

what im after is some gamechanging recipies, your favorites that are the nice tasting different ones to what I allready do to make fish a bit nicer again

My favorite is pan fryd snapper on mashed spud with holendase sauce over it, not exactly game changing but yum all the same.

Yep I used to cook whole fillets, now I cut the fillet into 3-4 pieces dip in egg, the bread crumbs, good qual ones, in freezer 15 mins, sets the egg, fry in butter with salt and black pepper, anything else buggar sit I think, boring eh

Bill999 you should send a PM to the resident forum chef, Angus. I am sure he would rise to this challenge.

Better yet send him some fish.

I like fillet/skin and put in a mix of lemon pepper/flour then onto the pan. Pretty similar to what you do.

Whole fish of just about any species, stuffed with a few herbs and butter then wrapped in foil and baked. Yes, you do still have to deal to the bones and skin, but far less flesh gets wasted.

Who would challenge a Penguin when it comes to knowing how to eat fish? That is your primary diet is it not?

Filletting seems to be the kiwi way on the whole. Where i was dragged up, we often had the entire fish, partly due to the small average size I guess Lots of flatfish and mackerel etc.

Quick lunch or snack

Fresh fish , very fresh bread

Nuke fish in microwave, ours is 1 minute, cooked, moist and soft

Butter bread, slight splash of lemon juice, salt and pepper then cover one piece of bread in Tartar sauce

Will have you going back for more

I like beer..........battered

I like em roman style, especially with whole flounder. Cooking it in maranara sauce and leeks, maybe some chickpeas and then serving over spaghetti

I just had a quick lunch of panfried snapper, stuffed into a panini full of taretare sauce.
once again not game changing but a quick 10min meal on the run
it was delicious but fish is getting so boring.
yet I have this urge to go catch some more

slightly off topic my boss microwaves his crafish and says its no difference in taste to boiling in the pot.
just a minute at a time and only the tail, he is american and dosnt eat the engine room
