Although we are all fishkeepers here, i'm sure a lot of us will eat fish every now and then. So what are your fav fish recipes/dishes?
One of mine has to be the simple fried salmon steak. Basically you get a thick fillet of salmon/salmon steak, de-skin it with a sharp knife and then remove the bones by pulling them out with a pair of tweesers. Slice the flesh many times very carefully on both sides, making sure not to slice through the whole steak (like just 1cm slices into the flesh of the fish, depending on the thickness of the steak) and cut off the egdes of the salmon steak if they are very thin. Then rub some salt, pepper and herbs (like rosemary and parsley) into the flesh of the fish. Heat some good proper butter (salted butter is good) in a pan and then fry the salmon steaks for around 5-10mins in the pan. The slices in the fish flesh will allow the steak to cook quickly all the way through, but also allow the flavor of the herbs and butter to soak deep into the flesh of the fish. A little bit of soy sauce and worstershire sauce is also very good when added to the fish while it is cooking i think
.
Mmmm.....
Another one has to be sushi- any type of sushi will do with me (salmon have to my fav fish toppings though, followed by cooked octopus). But i'm still not that great at cooking sushi rice, so sashimi has to be my second choice- to create salmon sashimi, simply get a good quality fillet of salmon (preferably one thats been frozen and thawed out beforehand), slice into small squares or rectangles, and serve up raw with some wasapi, pickled ginger and soy sauce, and eat. Mmm...
I wish i could deep fry stuff though, don't really have the confidence to though, i'm very nervous around deep frying stuff (silly i know, but a bad pan fire incidence i had to deal with when i was a kid scared the hell out of me).
So how about you guys/girls- what are your fav fish dishes/recipes
