Fish Dishes?

[EcclesCake]

I've never been a big fish eater but have been eating more of late.

I'm a bit boring when it comes to fish recipes and feel stuck in a rut.

I'd welcome some of your favourite dishes to give me some inspiration.

Whole fish needs no special recipes. Oil, season, add the herb if your choice. Bake (or fry) and serve with your favourite side dishes. For anything fancy I'd just web search.

[EcclesCake]

Aaah, a web search, I hadn't thought of that!

[Old_Geezer]

I'll expect a BA then.

Ironically I've just done a meal plan for this week. Tonight is good old fish pie - I've got smoked haddock, hake, Basa and prawns. Sometime during the weeks I'll be doing home made fishfingers, thoughnto be honest they're much bigger- more like a fish steak in breadcrumbs. And then a kedgeree. All very boring but still fish lol

I like basa with a light orange sauce with a hint of chilli
smoked haddock is with a cheese sauce
I am a big fan of the smoked fish that does not require sauces (sauces extra cals= bad)
Mother used to make Cod with mustard sauce
Hubby's current fave is Cod and tomato and herb sauce

[EcclesCake]

Tell me more about the cod and tomato/herb sauce Islay.

Thinking about it, I can't remember the last time I had a fish pie!

Fond memories of sobering up in the Officers Mess at Sparrow Fart breakfast after a ball with a gargantuan plate of Kedgeree. Happy days!

Cod & Crab Bake, with Prawns.

[Cloverjo]

Baked trout on a bed of tomatoes, peppers, salad potatoes and red onions.

Turbot baked in water with herb butter.

[Islay]

2 punnets of cherry toms - I sometimes use the multicoloured ones
sea salt
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 tablespoon of fresh basil
good slosh of white wine
4 cod fillets (chunky)
In a baking dish large enough to eventually accomodate the cod fillets, place the tomatoes in a single layer. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Roast the tomatoes until they are very soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven and decrease temperature to 350°F Place tomatoes in a small bowl, add the garlic and basil, toss to combine well and set aside.
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper and drizzle olive oil over the fillets. Place the cod in the baking dish the tomatoes were roasted in and pour wine and tomato mixture over the fish. Cover the dish with foil and bake the fish until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve immediately.

I love seafood. As most fish has subtle taste I tend to bring the flavour in with side dishes.

I love grilled whole sea bass or sea beam.

[Berniecuddles2]

Not a lover of fish but islay's recipe sounds tempting

[EcclesCake]

I like the sound of that Islay.

Sea beam is a bit wooden for me Ummmm.......

Thank you Berni and Eccles - i am not a great lover of fish (love shellfish) but even I have a little of this when I make it.

[EcclesCake]

Anymore for anymore?

I make this sometimes https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/711649/mediterranean-fish-stew-with-garlic-toasts but I use a shallot instead of onion, and use monkfish and jumbo prawns. I think I add a pinch of paprika and omit the orange zest (I think I use a teaspoon of lemon juice instead).

The only time we ever have fish is when I make fish cakes using tinned tuna.

We cook a lot of fish but I don't like to do too much to it. If it is cold and I don't mind the oven on I might put slices of tomato, potato and onion in a baking dish along with dill and olive oil (water also works fine if you are worried about oil). I cook that for around 45 mins then put whole sea bass or sea bream on top with a drop of oil and a slice of lemon and cook for a further half hour. If is warm weather I would just fry it.

I also like salmon with ginger. I cut fine strips of fresh ginger and cook in oil until they are getting crispy then add salmon steaks. I cook skin side down until they are nearly cooked and the skin is nice and crispy, then flip for a couple of mins and serve with the crispy ginger on top.

I do a smoked haddock lasagne - made on the hoof, so no fixed recipe - essetially it's layers of flaked smoked haddock, spinach sweated and mixed with ricotta, lasagne sheets and a chestnut mushroom sauce.

Very nice with garlic gread (and green crap if you must).

[EcclesCake]

Ooh, I like that idea SD.
