What is Your favorite fish to Devour?
« on: Jan 04, 2013, 10:05 AM »
I cook salmon on the grill  with brown sugar, soy sauce, butter and garlic salt. Mouth watering!  Thought walleye real tasty too when I fished for them in Canada on vacation.
What's your favorite fish to devour!  ;D

My favorites are Walleye, perch, and ling. In my opinion these are the three best eating fish that are widely available in Montana.

Doesn't get much better than a fresh ling! Perch and paddlefish would be tied for a close second and pike/walleye aren't too bad either.

Walleye and perch are hard to beat no matter how you fix them.

Ling, pike, walleye, and perch. In that order. Crappie if can get them I like better than perch but there aren't many places to get them here by where I live.

Definitely some boiled ling dipped in garlic butter. Or deep fat fried :)

Call me weird but I also LOVE grilling rainbow trout with butter, garlic, lemon zest, and Johnny's seasoning salt inside them. Clean them then cut the head and tail off and wrap in aluminum foil and wait for the butter to steam through the fish. You can pick the bones out in one piece and the meat tastes amazing. It loses most of it's overpowering trout flavor and absorbs the spices. Another good seasoning salt is Montreal. Can't go wrong :)
To jig or not to jig... That is the question.

Perch, breaded in any cajun breading, with a little extra corn meal thrown in. Then a box of Zatarains New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice.  Makes me eat till it hurts...

fresh crappie is without a doubt the best fish i've ever cooked, either fried with just a little lemon pepper or baked the same way.
Lunker!

I think this is the recipe I followed last time.  then I just added a bit of flour and the sourdough until I got the consistency I wanted.  As far as the sourdough goes, its starter i've been using/growing for years.

Thanks Trykon - that's pretty similar to the beer-batter I do - I was more interested in the sour dough aspect of it.  I got the basics of a sponge starter, but how much of the sponge starter do you add to the beer batter?

Tina, are your salmon wrapped in foil on the grill or just open on a sheet of foil? I'm assuming kokes. I'm for perch, walleye, crappie or trout. Smoked or grilled salmon too.

njoy,
They were the salmon we caught in Puget Sound, so just slab of coho or King in foil open, skin side down!  ;D Dee-Lish! how do the kokes here compare in taste, haven't caught any of those yet.

I agree with the HYALITE cuts and Brookies.  Fillet them out roll em in flour with salt and pepper fry em till crispy in butter.  There like candy.
