something smells fishy
....yes its my dinner. i cooked some rainbow trout fillets for my tea last night, i shallow fried them in oil with some rocket and some other leafs. they were tasty, yummers.
what other ways can i enjoy some home cooked sea food???????
please note i dont have a fish kettle or an oven. so only grilled or fried recipes please. and if you have any ammusing stories about fish meals please feel free to post them.
PS im going to take my girlfreind crab fishing (catching) at some point in the future, does any one have any tips on how to accomplish this. she reckons you are supposed to use small cocktail sausages on a line to catch crabs, but i dispute this claim. (note, i am being truthfull and its not a weak joke about STD's.) also you can post your stories about catching crabs here. (note to DMboozefreak, please resist the urge to reply with your STD stories.)

Actually, looks like someone's prediction from a couple of weeks ago has come true... She's got your balls in a jar on her shelf doesn't she?
Andrew
no of course not, its just if i stop cooking her interesting meals she might not like me anymore.
but the crab fishing looks fun, we saw some kids doing it in a bay, they had lots of them in a bucket. they had a simple fishing line. it looks like a cheap fun activity, where you can eat a meal at the end of it, yum!!
Plain old boiled fish with a squeeze of lemon and a blob of butter. You don't need so fancy shamncy ingredients with it.
Interesting fish/fishing anecdotes:
I caught a shark while sea fishing in the gulf of mexico...only a little 3 ft one but it was the best fish I ever ate...very light and tasty.
I nearly drowned fishing at Bridlington when my mates 'dingy' capsized in 5ft waves (I told him we were gonna die when I saw the sea). His flares had failed to go off when I tried and had a sell by date of 1979 on them (it was about 1994). I waved to people on the 'cliff' to get help and they just waved back and carried on their walk.
Fortunatley we clung to a bouy that was nearby till other fisherman picked us up.
Edit: crab fishing I though you just tied a piece of chicken to a string...they cling on and dont let go and you just pull em up.
Anyone looking for the real Miles...
...won't find him here. But at least I've never cooked a meal for a girl to try and impress her...! :p
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Andrew
realllllly....
I'm glad you had to show a link to Hamlet in the knowledge that he's not smart enough to know that! :lol:
Edit: /stirs the pot (with the fish in it).
Blackened Snapper
Trout Amandine
If I'm looking to score (some points with the wife) that's what I cook her - with Asparagus on the side for some "phallic-suggestive-vegetable" goodness.
Andrew
You'll have to cook me a fish supper before I'll let you anywhere near my waves... Don't get nothing for free in this world.
Beanz would lose all interest then. Men, eh. :cry:
thanks, not sure ive seen snapper in tescos. but i'll give the trout a go........after ive cooked her the recipe.
good story Scottie, very exciting. i'll post back with my crab fishing tale when it happens.
chicken sounds way to expensive to catch crabs with, could it be spam?
yup, kilometer is absorbing the gay jibes beanz usually aims at me. :p
You can use the snapper recipe on any flaky white fish.
Andrew
it's better than 'taking' or 'recieving' which i think are gay code words for something them lads do.
like fish that say they are gonig to meet you in a pub then dont turn up?
i thought all fish was white and flaky, except tuna which is grey.
i should have mention, apart from battered fish from brids eye or the chip shop, ive only ever eaten a porper fish twice in my life, and one was last night.
Meh... you can't really go wrong with that one... Just use cod...
Although I could do without hearing what you've eaten out of your bird's (one)eye - especially when you seem to be talking about eating pooper fish last night. And I hope you cleaned your teeth this morning.
Andrew
Buy your old lady some plaice its very creamy and light (like your complexion) while she is eating it do the old 'they say fish is an aphrodisiac crap'.
If you have your blue pill ready the night should be a success.
i have already mounted that challenge, using the tried and tested aphrodisiac ......... wine.
didn't you used to get plaice in chip shops?
Aye, all the top class Chippies did plaice. Think it was more expensive though so not so many did it.
urg i feel sick, how can you eat a fish that hasn't been cooked, it'd make me ill.
The sushi here is just plain and boring, the stuff in Tescos/M&S is edible but not that spectacular
of course its cheap its not been cooked, you could just buy a fish off a fisherman and eat that.
its like buying potatoes from the chip shop and eating them.
How do you know if you've never tried it? I'm sure you've had smoked salmon, which is merely smoked and not cooked.
I also like my steaks so rare a good vetinarian could bring them back to life. They taste so much better than the typical unadventurous cook-it-for-20-minutes until it's bone dry method of cooking a steak that goes on around here!
On the other hand I don't buy meat/fish from a supermarket. A proper butcher's or fishmongers shop that has a good reputation and prepares the meat properly makes a big difference.
I thought I had had sushi but a couple weeks ago I went to the Alley theatre in downtown Houston and there was a Jap sushi place opposite. It was literally just strips of raw fish (none of those rice roll things). 12 strips...a couple of which looked like a tentacle (spell check just chose testicle). Anyway...I ate em so as not to look like the 'the repressed English dude' all nonchalantly like I have it everyday.
It was good......bloody bill for that and 2 beers was $81 though....my wallet didn't feel bloated after it either.
you should have sent them back asked them to be cooked and served with some chips......... whist whistling colonel bogey while you waited. thats what a proper englishman would have done.
It's not sushi if it doesn't have rice in it - sushi translates as 'vinegared rice'. What you had there is probably sashimi.
So there.
