what is your favorite fish and what is your favorite way to cook it ?

Answer 1

think my all time favorite way to eat fish is in fish tacos. Here's the my favorite recipe for them

Fish Tacos

Peanut oil, for frying
2 cups panko bread crumbs*
3 eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds halibut, snapper, or other firm flesh white fish
8 corn tortillas
1/2 head napa cabbage, shredded
Pink Chili Mayo, recipe follows
Lime wedges, for garnish
*Available in the Asian section of your market.
To fry the fish: Fill a large heavy bottomed pot about 1/3 full of peanut oil. Heat to 375 degrees F. While the oil is heating, put the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Break the eggs into another shallow dish, season with salt and pepper, and beat them with 2 tablespoons of water. Cut the fish into 1-inch wide strips. Dip them into the egg, then coat them well with the breadcrumbs. Set aside and let them rest for 10 minutes. Cook the fish a few pieces at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
To make the tacos: Heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat. Warm a corn tortilla in the pan until it softens, about 30 seconds. Place a fish strip on it, top with some of the shredded cabbage, and a big dollop of Pink Chili Mayo. Squeeze on some lime juice, roll up, and eat!

Pink Chili Mayo:
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Juice 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Put the mayonnaise, sour cream, peppers, and lime juice in a blender and process to a puree. Refrigerate the mayo for 1/2 hour to let the flavors to blend; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

I also LOVE Mahi Mahi when I can get a hold of it, so when I do I use this yummy recipe:

Macademia Nut Crusted Mahi

5 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) coarsely ground, roasted macadamia nuts
1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for brushing foil
4 (6 to 8-ounce) mahi mahi fillets
Kosher salt and pepper
2 tablespoons coconut milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the nuts, panko, flour, and butter. Set aside.
Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it liberally with vegetable oil. Place the mahi mahi on the foil and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush each fillet with the coconut milk. Divide the nut mixture among the tops of the 4 fillets, patting the mixture to spread and adhere to the fillets. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

Answer 3

Poached Salmon
In a pan put in a half a cup of water, or may a little more if it's a big pan.

Bring water to a boil, add several cloves of fresh crushed garlic.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of ginger and/or teriyaki sauce.

If possible, remove the skin from the Salmon or ask the fishmonger to remove the skin when you purchase it.

Place salmon in pan, cover and turn the heat to low.

Turn salmon over after about 3 to 5 minutes and cook another 3 to 5 minutes. Depends on thicknes of Salmon.

When cooked, the salmon will be very tender, sweet and delicious. Enjoy. Serve with steamed vegetables, potato salad and a green salad.

Answer 4

Salmon is my favorite to cook because it is so easy.

Bake it for 30 min at 350. Some people like to smear mayo and onions on it before cooking which is very good but my favorite way is to pour melted butter and soy sauce over it.

Serve it with wild rice, corn bread and a salad....yummmy...oh yes and a nice bottle of wine. Since salmon is a heavier fish either a Syrah are Zin would be nice.

Answer 5

My favorite fish is mahi-mahi, fresh caught. You can cook it if you want, just lightly fry in a small amount of a good oil, but the best way to eat it is:

Cut fillet in very thin slices
Refridgerate for a few hours
Serve with a nice rice side
Also serve wasabi (a Japanese horseradish) as a condiment

Note: It is essential that the fish be totally fresh.

This might sound yucky if you are not used to eating raw fish but it is superb and extremely healthy.

It is called "sashimi"in Japanese and can be made with several othr species of fish as well --- black or yellowfin tuna, wahoo, etc

Answer 6

Salmon-- Get a huge piece of Salmon from the fish shop. Wash it off and then put into a nice roasting pan. Put about 1 inch of milk over the fish. Sprinkle your favorite seasoning over it, with coarse pepper. Cover with tin foil and bake in a 350degree oven. Let bake for 15-20 minutes. uncover, and season with salt. It is Great !!!

Answer 7

Answer 9

I would have to say Mackerel - Lightly Salted/Grilled and Tilapia - Fried with Light Seasonings. But my fiance is filipino and he used to make a dish in tagalog it's called Sinigang and it's veggies and fish pieces in kinda like a soup type broth. I like my fish in any way you cook it.
