SARANDIAGO OR SARANDEADO

BAJA.DESERT.RAT - 8-28-2016 at 02:12 PM

Hola,

we fished out of san quintin and caught yellowtail and rockfish, unfortunately, no white seabass, our target fish.

at the fillet table, our skipper told us if we take the fish to the restaurant, ask them to cook it sarandiago and you will never eat it any other way. well, we would as we love sashimi.

the restaurant did cook it as we asked and it looked like it was grilled with a sauce on it that looked like teriyaki sauce, probably not.

neither myself nor my son thought it to be great.

does anyone know this style of cooking and can you recommend making this particular sauce and how to cook it and when to apply this particular sauce ?

i thank you in advance,

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Its Zarandeado. I have had it a variety of ways. Seems the recipes vary quiet a bit between mainland and Baja.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 cloves coarsely but well chopped garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1/4 teaspoon powdered chile de árbol or substitute cayenne
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard

Is what we use (or something similar depending on what we have available)

Usually on a 1/2 white sea bass...grilled open face.

I know a guy with the last name Zaranandia from Spain.

Juan says it Sarandiado and recipes vary from place to place of what they put on top of the fish that is on the grill....it's a mexican favorite way to eat it.

True...in Baja it is spelled with an S... On the mainland it is spelled with a Z. Google it and it is spelled both ways. My dictionary has it with a Z.

Only matters if you are looking it up on the internet for a recipe.

Sarandeado style recipes I've used often include annatto (achote in Spanish) to add deep red/orange color to makes the fish appear barbequed.

Hi mexicali-kid,

My family used to have a restaurant in Tecate, we sold rosticery chicken and we used "achiote" to marinate it, also added juice from sour oranges among other spices... her's something on "achiote":
