Catch O' The Day

Fish is so good. I'd like to expand this to just seafood in general, if that's okay? The best styles for cooking fish are always the simplist. You can go real fancy and do the whole 3 page recipe thing...but in the end it comes out tasting good no matter what.

There was one recipe where you butter up some foil put in the flounder(or which ever fish you have) and add onion and garlic powder, salt, pepper, and this red spice that I forget....You bake it and it just comes out so good. But that's no different than...

Lighting up a good fire, and simply grilling/BBQing it or a squid. If I grill or BBQ a seafood, I always prefer to use squid.

Most non-fish seafoods taste good boiled with just teriyaki or soy sauce. NOTHING else. Like shrimp, squid, octopus, lobster, crabs, crawlfish, etc..

You can also do well frying it.


The one thing I love most about seafood is that the recipes are universal. A recipe you can do with flounder or snapper usually tastes just as good with another fish or seafood.


And sushi. Ah. Sushi. How can you go wrong with fish and rice? Honestly. Sashimi--You can't mention sushi and not mention sashimi. OH man oh man!! and sometimes when you get eel sushi they put the hoisain(I can't belive I can't spell that) sauce or maybe it's teriyaki? On it and then put those seasame(?) seeds. So good. I've mastered making sushi/sashimi at home. I'm just not so sure about some of the sauces they use. But then I can just look that up later.
 
When I say nothing else, I don't mean it won't taste good....I mean that I don't NEED anything else.
 
I love fish!

My favorite of all is probably catfish. I really think my Jewish friends are missing out, by not being able to eat bottom dwellers.:(

I can honestly say there hasn't been any seafood that I've eaten that I didn't like (as long as it's prepared correctly). I like fish:). It makes me happy:).

Anyway, as far as a chain goes I highly suggest Up the Creek if you live in the South Eastern U.S. It stinks not living on the coast line sometimes, but I love smoking trout when I get to go.:up:

I LOVE FISH!!!
 
Something I feel bears mentioning is how the freshness of your selected fish or seafood can affect the flavor and overall dining experience. I've had the pleasure of catching lake trout and then cooking it on shore for lunch shortly thereafter and really, there is simply no comparison as it exceeds all other trout I have ever had, including those that we freeze and take home with us. The same holds true for any fish or seafood, and I've had similar experiences with bluefish out of the Chesapeake Bay, crab from the Oregon coast, amber jack and snapper out of the Gulf Of Mexico and many others. Catching your own fish is not only fun, but WOW does it taste good when it's so fresh.

did you know that most salmon you buy in a store comes from Chile now? That's why it's price has dropped so much in the last ten years. They have huge Salmon farms, and sell it to walmart. It has really helped their economy.

Yeah, a lot of it does. You have to be careful with farm raised fish. They get fed a lot of antibiotics and hormone enriched food to speed their growth that you should avoid if at all possible.

What kind of catfish and trout is your brother raising? My grandmother used to make awesome fried catfish, hushpuppies and fried okra.

Incidentally, coming from the eastern shore [Virginia Beach Area], I'm not really big on Fish, except Tuna. Though, I've been known to eat 5 gallon buckets full of crabs. And no, that's not a euphemism for a Saturday Night with Holly.
