Which fish do you like the best and...

[Nadine]

...how do you cook it?

If i can convince DH to buy fresh fish then I need ideas. (He doesn't trust fish shops and likes to only eat what he has caught ROFL. Which my reply is "where are you going to fish" we live 50min from the water LOL)

Anyway, I use to buy barramundi fillets and wrap them (usually with butter and lemon) individually with aluminium foil and cook them in the pan or BBQ. Yummy!

Any other recipe ideas?

Thankyou

My fave would be salmon And tandoori baked salmon with paremesan & fresh basil mash potato with grilled asparagus YUM YUM YUM. Marc makes a really good baked fish dish with white fish.

Nadine, just be wary when you by "fresh" fish. It is very very difficult to get fresh fish in NSW as most fish is frozen on the boat out to sea to keep it as new as possible if that makes sense. Nine times out of ten the "fresh" fish you buy will be thawed, even from the fish markets - I've seen the cartons at the fish markets exactly the same as the frozen ones I sell at work.

My favourite is Spanish Mackeral. Baked in the oven with ginger, soy sauce and shallots.

Niliac- Thanks Sounds very yummy!

Sarah- Yep that is DH's exact point. We only live on canned fish in this household, but dad is coming over and he only eats fish or kangaroo meat. So was thinking fish but I am not sure if I will be able to convince DH. It may end up in a BBQ. beef for us, kangaroo for dad LOL. Thanks

ETA: olimoo- that sounds yummy too

well we are lucky and have a holiday place on the coast therefore we manage to catch quite a bit of fish, my favourite would be summer whiting I just dust with flour and fry lightly in olive oil spray


we also catch small flat head, soul, mackeral, and the occasional reef fish again same way for cooking

if for looking for a white fish - whiting is good for snacky style stuff, coral trout is yummy as a simiple grilled, battered or crumbed fish - very light but decent size fillets and doesn't dry out when cooked (can be quite expensive though). red emperor can be really nice as well - as you can see I'm more a reef fish person cause that's what FIL catches and we get spoilt with but can be very expensive to buy at market

I love fresh salmon, i do a Jamie Oliver with mine and wrap it in foil with some vegies, herbs, lemon juice and olive oil and bake for 20mins, yummy!

My DH does a nice dish, fish with a pistaciho/malibu cream sauce, it's so nice. We usually use frozen Nile Perch, we always make sure they get it out of the freezer for as then we know it's only been defrosted once when we do it .

Even just pan fried salmon fillet is lovely or white fish fillets (we use barra) put on a bed of dill, basil and parsley then top with a couple of bits of butter and the same herbs again and wrap in foil then bake for about 15 minutes (depending on size)

Living on the Coast we eat a lot of fish...whiting, bream, red emperor etc. We often bbq it with ginger, lime and coconut milk marinade, or whole bake if it's big enough.
