Lenguada fish

oxxo - 5-8-2012 at 08:06 AM

What is the English name for the Spanish Lenguada. I had some last night and thought it was good, but the flesh was a little mushy. I prefer a firmer flesh. Maybe it was the way it was prepared.

Halibut

If it was frozen, thawed, refrozen several times, the flesh of any fish will become "mushy" when cooked. Maybe this was the case in what you were served.

rts551 - 5-8-2012 at 08:25 AM

normally spelled lenguado I believe. And if not old, very good eating.

Lenguado = flounder (halibut)

Bay of Conception halibut..good table fish.



Alaska's Cook Inlet halibut...better table fish. (this was a 'chicken')



Some Alaskan 'barn doors'



Lenguado 'cheek' prices in states: (Pike's Market, Seattle)



Like beacbum1A said, frozen fish can become mushy. Fish is best cooked fresh.

we all have lenguado on our minds these days as May is when they come into the beaches for shore fishing...yum yum!

I love Lenguado. I just bought a couple of deep fryers and I'll bet I've cooked around 300 pounds of it in the last few weeks. I'm experimenting with batter.
Anyone have a batter recipe to share? I'll try anything.

Have you tried corn meal with any number of seasonings?:D

Hey Shari

I still don't know how to post pictures on this board. Do you still have a picture of my 44 lb Halbiut that I caught last October? If so, can you post it for these folks?
Thanks
Howard

i gotta window in july. thinking BOLA but WTF? a good time is where i find it....

shari - 5-8-2012 at 07:01 PM

when I lived on Vancouver Island, the natives always served halibut that was soooo delicious....here is how they (and I) prepare it. First, cut the halibut into pieces about 1-2" wide and about 6" long...then rub mustard into the fillet, then do the shake and bake bag thing with flour with whatever spices you like, garlic salt, pepper etc...then deep fry in a fry pan till golden.

willardguy - 5-8-2012 at 07:04 PM

are you talking about a dry mustard?

shari - 5-8-2012 at 07:09 PM

they just used regular old yellow mustard...the tartness just adds a certain...je ne sais quoi...bite to it and seals in the juices...so simple but so incredibly yummy!

We're in for the halibut for the helluvit throw down in July!!!

Notice the rocky shoreline. Most fish from beaches. I can't remember if we let this one go.
