Favorite Fish Recipes

[BFTMASTER]

Let's hear you guys favorite fish recipes, whether it be fried, grilled, baked, steamed or raw. Snapper/Grouper,Dorado,Shark, King Mack, Wahoo, Tuna etc.

I got a craving for some new dish ideas and already read through the recipes forum.

Ok.. one of my favorites is a cilantro pesto to marinate and brush on while grilling the fish... It is supposedly best on Wahoo, but its great on any white fish.. the leftovers are pretty good on pasta or brush on some bread..
Its hard to beat salt,pepper, butter and Lemon Juice.. sear in in a skillet and finish off in the broiler..
Hawaiian style tuna Poke is one of my new favs.. I can post these recipes if anyone wants them..
Plain ole tuna and wahoo sashimi is pretty good too..
lets hear some more...

Tuna I like grilled or scampied best.

catfish.....

yellow cornmeal with salt and pepper added (to taste).........

coat fish with cornmeal and fry in peanut oil that's hot enough to light a matchstick

yum

(hushpuppies, fries, or onion rings optional)



seriously,........ did anyone see the recipe on the ***-**** board about using 'cheez-it' crackers ground into a meal and adding fresh parmisian cheese to it (along w/favorite seasoning) and then baking in an oven?

sounded interesting

Here is the Cilantro Pesto recipe

In a blender or food processor mix
1/2cup melted butter
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves fresh garlic (peeled and chopped)
1/3 cup fresh cilantro ( usually one bunch)
2 tablespoons of cajun seafood seasoning
Juice of 1 lemon

this amount should do 4-6 good filets..
I put this on some wahoo filets about an hour before putting on the medium hot grill.
Use nonstick or foil on the grill and brush filets again- each side while cooking..
use the extra sauce over some fresh pasta or on fresh bread...

Here is the Tuna Poke Recipe..

Great poke recipe Bret. Vidallia onions will work too!

I need to try that pesto recipe on my folks. It sounds like a winner too.

That sounds pretty good, Bret. That rooster chili is some pretty hot stuff but very flavorful.

One of my wife and I favorites is Panko Fried Trout.

Panko is Japanese bread crumbs that resemble shavings instead of crumbs.

Panko is available at most large grocery stores in the Asian food section.

Take any kind of white filets and chill in ziploc in Ice water.
(more ice than water) This firms them away from being delicate.

Next, flour the filets.
Then drop into beaten eggs.
Then into the Panko crumbs.
Then into hot peanut oil.
Cook until golden brown. (about 2 minutes or less)

Use thongs to remove.(this lets most of the oil drain)

Does not usually need any seasoning, we dip ours into wasabi/soy.
