Best way to cook your favorite fish....
I like mine on the barbeque, with lemon and garlic, but seriously, anyone have any ideas for something more creative, there is only so many ways to
fry a fish..or cook it..so please give me some ideas, there are 365 days a year!!

I've really become a fan of doing a modified slow poaching.
Butter and garlic in a pan, till garlic just turning brown; deglaze the pan with dry vermouth, white wine or marsala, add the fillets, some more fresh
garlic, some water, lemon zest and Spike seasoning mix and reduce heat to low and SLOOOOWLY simmer it till just done. Turn only once. Using lemon
juice in place of water makes the lemon flavor overwhelming. Maybe a 50/50 mix of juice to water might work?
Works best on a fish with some firmness like dorado, halibut, corvina or most rockfish. Halibut is plentiful around here right now, since it is
bycatch from the shrimper. Kilos of fillets are 50 pesos/kilo.

I like a slightly different poaching method:
I vacuum seal my filet with one of those machines.
Prior to sealing, I add a patty of butter; some Vermouth, garlic and Tarragon into the pouch with the fish. Then, drop the pouch into simmering water
till cooked. When the pouch is opened, all the flavoring is still undiluted and can be drizzled over the filet.

I like mine liquified and mixed with Vodka. Sometimes I'll put a little umbrella in the glass and play disco music during dinner.
Life is good.

That sounds good too, George. Now I have to go to Amazon and get one of those bag sealer machines.

Lightly flour filets with seasoned flour, then saute in butter and olive oil. Remove fish, deglaze pan with white wine, add a handful of capers and a
few squeezes of lemon juice, reduce slightly, pour over fish.

Fillet. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Put in a baggie of corn meal and cover fillet.
Quickly fry in 525 degree oil. The heat of the oil is critical as the corn meal will seal the fish in without imparting any oil to the fish.

They all sound pretty good to me. One of my favorites is from Patti Higginbotham's book "Somethin's Fishy in Baja" - I believe that is the correct
title as the book has been out of print for awhile. Also works well with yellowtail.
TUNA FILET MIGNON
8 yellowfin tuna steaks, one inch thick
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
one clove garlic, minced
bacon slices
Trim out bone and all dark red meat. Wrap each steak with bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Combine oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and garlic. Marinate steaks in single layer for one hour – turn after about ½ hour.
Barbeque over high heat five minutes – turn and grill five minutes more or until fish flakes easily in center when pierced with a fork.
Note: I drizzle the remaining marinate over the steaks just before removing from barbeque – it will flame up and leave a nice finish.

One of my favorite fish experiences was a few years ago we had some freinds from Tijuana camp in our front yard here in Bahia. I took them out fishing
and caught a bunch of fish. They cleaned them by gutting them and removing the gills, leaving the heads on. They scaled them with a wire brush, and
put 3 or 4 slices through the skin on each side. Added salt and pepper and fried them in a large propane fired wok. It was really good. They kept this
wok going 24/7 for a 4 day fiesta and feast. What fun, I can't wait for them to come back.
