Tell us your best recipe for cooking fish or any seafood !

Thought i would start off a new thread to get the day moving!  Would be great to here how everyone cooks up there seafood. I will start it off with a new one i guy i was chatting to on a charter boat told me...and it tastes great and is very simple.  Get an oven bag and put your fillet of fish in it. Get one packet of french onion mix and sprinkle it over the fish. tie up your oven bag, and bung it in the oven till cooked.  I tell you what it tastes great !

Breadcrumbs

Thu, 2008-10-23 08:33

what every spices you like, garlic power (I use the spencers garlic steak mix), chillie, salt/pepper, olive oil.

Put enough oil in the breadcrumbs hold shape with spices etc

Pat dry your dhuie (we use this on)

crumb mix pat onto both sides of fish, then cook on bbq, I like this with a slight crispy texture, old fart just likes it cooked.  We use baking paper on bbq plate when cooking fish/squid.  Squid can also be used this way.

Don't worry if it doesn't totally cover fish, its not supposed to, very tasty, old italian mate of Bob gave us this receipe, I'll eat fish done this way.

Fresh tailor fillets - wrapped in foil,with a bit of butter on both sides. Throw it on a small fire on the beach while you are waiting for the next fish.

Pippies thrown on a small fire on the beach. When they open up they're cooked. Beat oysters and mussels hands down.

I cook pink snapper or dhuie

Thu, 2008-10-23 11:43

I cook pink snapper or dhuie by squeezing a lemon into a bowl, drop fillets in, then rub in a bit of lemon and pepper seasoning (brands vary, so need to pick a reasonable one). Put butter in the pan as it heats up, put the fillets in, dob of butter on top of each fillet. Pour or squeeze rest of lemon juice/lemon around/over fillets. Then the important things: turn the heat to medium, put a glass lid over and cook til its 'just' done, verging on very slightly underdone. Probably the best fish i've ever had (pink snapper) I did like this (though I did have ridculously good and buttery piece of baldchin at a good restaurant). Some people like their fish well cooked though, but IMO, its much nicer if you do it rarer (especially pink snapper, dhuiem, tuna and dolphinfish which can loose the sweet flavour if you cook it too much).

 

For dhuie especially: Put the fillet in the pan, pour in some full cream coconut milk after mixing in a bit of green curry paste and cook til done. It doesnt come out like a green curry, (much more mild), more like coconut flavours with a bit of extra tastiness.

 

Want to try some other recipes though, so will be watching this thread Laughing

Andy's idea of dukkah BBQ'd fish sounds good.

 

Squid: just chuck in a bag with flour and salf and pepper (the salt and pepper amount and ratio is critical, often more than you would think). Then shallow fry in butter and oil.

Tuna: cut into strips and eat, no cooking required :D

 

I did have a fresh caught skippy that I had as basic as you can get. Just chucked the whole, gutted fish in some foil and put under the coals in a fire and thats it. No extra anything. Came out pretty good.

PAN-FRIED TAILOR 

This works best on 30-35cm chopper tailor for maximum crispyness!

Clean, gut and scale the fish, chop off fins/tail etc but DONT FILLET!!

Score the sides of the fish and rub salt and some chilli powder (for an extra kick if u want)

Pan-fry until a nice golden colour and nice and crispy. Yum yum yum

 

STEAMED FLATHEAD/COBBLER/DHUIE/COD/BALDCHIN/CORAL TROUT (Basically any bottom feeding white-fleshed fish!)

Again dont fillet and steam whole fish with some ginger and other nice herbs

...ok never actually done this myself, make sure mom's willing to cook if i'm bringin one back!

 

PAN-FRIED MACKEREL CUTLETS

Chop up mackie into cutlets, rub in some salt and pan-fry

One of my favourites :)

got this one out of the

Thu, 2008-10-23 15:49

got this one out of the wangler years ago .its been modified over time but can impress even your mother inlaw!!!!
pre heat oven to 200,, oil baking tray .chop up a few spring oinions to cover bottom of tray,chuck in coral trout ,red emp or what ever.half cover fish with a dry white wine sprinkle a few of ya favorate herbs spices over the top P.S dont over do the sprinkle thing.
cook for 20 to 25 dep[ending on thickness and amount of plonk.
ok heres the tricky bit .a minute or 2 before cooked ,,in a small saucepan melt a big tablespoon of butter chuck in the same amount of flour till youve made a paste.
pull fish from tray and sit in the grill usualy still warm from oven below .
reduce wine down to about half over medium heat .add 250mls or thereabouts if cream to the wine .mix in the paste till youve got a creamy sauce .only takes a minute or 2
serve on a bed of rice ...smotherd in the creamy sauce
now if the mother inlaw isnt impressed she theres nothing you will ever be able to do so ya mght as well shoot her and put her out of her misery
always in it just the depth that varies

Don't destroy it!

Thu, 2008-10-23 15:50

 I think far too many people ruin their fish by adding too many spices etc to it when they cook it.

Keep it simple and stick it on the barbie for only a few minutes everytime, and enjoy the natural flavours.
