Fish

[Chuckles]

Anyone been watching the tv progs on fishing with the five chefs doing recipes using the not so common fish ? ?

OH has and he did the Pollock Korma Jamie Oliver made, very nice.

[Auricula]

Yes I have. We are trying less common fish and we had ling this week - very tasty. I always buy pollock for fish pies.

[Chuckles]

Just realised I meant COLEY Korma not Pollock Not tried Pollock or Ling before Auricula, must tell OH. We had the COLEY Korma again last night it was a good as the first time, and my neice and her little boy tooked into it too

OH was talking about trying the Crab fishcakes, I'll report back when he does them. Have to say I'm not really a crab fan but we'll see.

[Auricula]

I don't like crab, but pollock,coley and ling are all nice

[Chuckles]

I'd never heard of Ling before, I see it is part of the cod family and described as having a very firm flesh. On our list to try now

I've also noticed that they have been promoting fish on some of the early morning tv shows that have a chef on, not actualy watched them as the tv is just on in the background.

Anyone had Pike - really nice

Herring is so good for you too - must made an effort to buy more fish - I tend to stay with Tuna and Salmon

[Chuckles]

We love tuna but its quite expensive, if I recall OH paid £17 for 3 pieces last time we had it.

[JennyWrenn]

I meant tinned tuna Chuckles

We love fish in our house.I usualy buy salmon and large sea trout which is fantastic they only sell for a short season though at Morrisons.
Coley is nice if you make it into something dont like it much on its own.
Salmon has got very exspensive now but i still have it once a week.
Not tried Ling yet must look out for some.
Coley sound nice in a korma i wish i had watched the program now. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif

[Chuckles]

Tinned tuna its a bit like the difference between the taste of tinned pineapple and fresh. I don't mind tinned tuna in a pasta bake or sandwiches.

I'm sure you can get the recipes online snowy, you may even be able to watch the programmes, I'll have a look for you.

I like Smoked Mackerel.... lol

I've got some smoked haddock to try and make a chowder type thing too.

[andy]

Anyone make fishermans pie ? Smoked haddock, salmon, white fish, prawns, mussels, cockles, clams plus hard boiled eggs and peas in a cheese sause topped with mash potato

Love it ;D

[Auricula]

Yes, I make that - minus the eggs

[Barbara]

I make fish pie, but I only use cod, eggs, peas , green beans, and parsley sauce topped with cheesy mashed potato.

[andy]

Whitebait....tossed in flour then deep fried.

[Chuckles]

OH likes that Andy, can't bring myself to try them ;D

Another fave of ours atm is smoked mackerel smeared with horseradish sauce and grilled, they are lovely with a salad and new tats. I was really surprised how the horseradish tasted, not hot as you'd expect but warm and sweet. Not something you would normally think of putting together but I can definately reccomend it

[andy]

We get horseraddish growing naturally along our riverbank in Lewes. There's a fairly famous chef who lives in the town called Olly something or other who uses it all the time.

[Chuckles]

OH is still trying to encourage me to try different fish, he did these last night www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/crab_cakes_and_crushed_25991 very very nice I have to say. If like me you don't like really strong tasting fish just use the white meat
