Where do you live, are you by the coast where you can get good fresh fish easily?

I cooked monkfish with mushroom sauce last week and it was pretty tight: https://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/27/dining/out-of-darkness-bright-new-flavor.html (the recipe is most of the way down the page)

>>10628551
eat some sea bass (google translated, pic related), one of the most anonimous fishes around
crush some cherry tomatoes inside/around it, some herbs, salt and oil inside the belly and throw in the oven, somewhere around 15-20 minutes
nothing special but it's a start, buy the smaller ones for easier cooking (big ones are more tricky to cook evenly in oven)

Is that a 10 year old boy with a wig? Why is 4chan so gay?

>>10628551
Salmon and trout. Season them with cajun seasoning, then you put olive oil in a pan on medium high heat and pan fry them until they're done. I mix mayo with sriracha to use as a topping. I serve with asparagus usually.

>>10628551
If its snapper or trigger, blackened is the way to go.

>>10628551

Salmon is the best in my opinion. Dover sole is also delicious in seasoned bread crumbs and pan fried in butter with lemon and capers (basically a beurre blanc). There are a lot of recipes that follow that technique out there with plenty of varitions (e.g lemon or lavender which are both great with the salmon too).

As far as other sauces go, tartar is delicious.

>>10628568
I live a walking distance from the coast and a man sells seafood about 50 meters from my house every wednesday. Thanks for the recipe anon, but I doubt the guy sells monkfish.

>>10628569
Alright, I'm writing it down. Sounds super easy!

>>10628728
It's a girl with a cute butt. You are the faggot.

>>10628741
>>10628773
I've had salmon before and didn't really like it but I'm willing to reconsider it. Thanks anons.

>>10628744
Elaborate.

>>10628819

Try different forms of salmon. Jerky, smoked, sashimi, grilled, poached, etc. Very different tastes. With a proper sauce it can be drastically different too. Good luck

>>10628551

Seems weird that some people are only attracted to one body type.

>>10629023
I am attracted to a variety of body types, but they all have asses. Some skinny girls do have asses but not this one.

>Elaborate.
Blackening is a cooking method invented by Paul Prudhomme. Originally it was for redfish but it works with most any fish. However, most people end up doing a bastardized home version.

In the real recipe you season a fish fillet with a herb blend and then coat with melted butter. A cast iron pan is heated up so hot that it is literally red hot and then the fish goes in. The pan is so hot that the fish never actually touches it-rather it floats above the surface due to the liedenfrost effect. The result is a perfectly tender fillet with a nice herb crust. But this takes a very powerful burner and generates a lot of smoke so you can't do it indoors.

The more common version is just seasoning the fish with "blackening spice" (you can buy at the supermarket) and then pan-frying it in oil or butter.

hey luthier guy, your taste in music is pretty good but why can't you post stuff that isn't restricted?

>>10629087
That is very elaborate indeed. That clears up a lot. How is this so called blackening spice, any good?

never decide which fish to buy at home
get whatever is freshest

>>10628551

1. Don't buy shitty sole or tilapia

2. Don't buy faggy shit like $60 monkfish

3. Don't cook with butter.

4. Try to use powerful flavours. Asian recipes and pre-made rubs are best.

5. Don't undercook. Slimy.

6. Fish pairs well with a lot of stuff. Blackened salmon with guacamole, etc.

>>10628551

>>10630585

Don't listen to this weeb faggot.

Dover sole is delicious and cooking with butter is a good thing. Don't use overly powerful flavors with fish because it will overpower the taste. Fish are delicate and need to be seasoned and cooked delicately. Undercooking certain fishes is perfectly OK. For instance if you have a nice piece of salmon fillet you can cook it medium as you would a steak leaving it a bit pink/underdone n the center. It will be succulent and easily flake apart, many chefs such as Jacques Pepin do this.

Monkfish is basically a meme but worth trying once. Halibut is better though and cheaper.

Avocado goes well with salmon. No need to fucking blacken it however.

Man you are such a clueless fag.

>>10630585
This is awful advice from manchild raised on tendies and frozen burritos.

It has shoulders like Schwarzenegger. This degeneracy needs to be stopped

>>10630585
1. Correct
2. Correct
3. Shit information, its about what you like with fats - always.
4. Premade rubs are a waste of money. If you can't make one, learn.
5.Relative to fish ype
6. No.

>>10630805
Yes

>>10630733
If Sole is grown where swai and tilapia are, never buy it. I've never heard of it. Never EVER buy tilapia. EVER! If seafood is cheap read where it came from, NEVER BUY CHINESE FISH

>>10631832
>Never EVER buy tilapia. EVER!

Why not?

>>10631913
Google it, been talked about here plenty. Chinese waste water, human feces feed, etc.

I grew up in a fishing hamlet so I naturally a lot of fresh fish. I'm convinced a lot of city dwellers who say they don't like fish simply never had a fresh one. Go to a fishmonger or even a local fisherman and get something that's still moving.
Fish is easy and quick to cook too. Boil or steam some cod or plaice for a few minutes and have them with some new potatoes and, I don't know, a white mother sauce with some chopped parsley maybe? Melted butter?
Breaded and fried fillets of those two are great as well.
Or grind up some cod with an onion and form them into egg-sized spheroids. Fry in plenty of fat. No, they won't absorb a lot of it.

Those are my main local fish. It obviously varies. We get dover sole too and I like that just fine, but it's generally just a lesser plaice, and a bit more of a hassle to fillet if you're doing that yourself.
Others already said trout or salmon wrapped in foil or with a salt crust. Takes longer but it's still easy and delicious.

>Hi /ck/. I wish to add fish as a weekly staple to my diet.

Why kill fish when tofu has all the same essential amino acids and is much healthier?

>>10635502
Because some of us enjoy living a full and un-cursed life, Professor Quirrell.

>>10635908

You can still enjoy life without murdering things, can't you?

Not me. Wanna meet up?

>>10635920
It's not murder if they beg for death before the end.

>>10628551
Gumbo. Gumbo gumbo gumbo. You can put damn near any fish you want in it, though most recipes call for shellfish and saltwater fish, rather than freshwater. A lot call for chicken and/ or smoked pork sausage, in all sorts of combinations. It's 75% rice, vegetables, and seasoning though, so it's a great way to get a ton of vegetables in your diet too. The rice, fuck off about the starch and carbs. A billion Chinese people eat it every meal, every day, for the last thousand years, and even in the modern day they're skinny as fuck. Quit blaming rice and starch and carbs for being fat.

>>10635502
>all the same essential amino acids
and what about the rest?

>>10635975

What rest? Plant based foods provide 100% of the essential amino acid every healthy human needs.

>>10635982
like vitamins n shit

>>10635989

plants also provide 100% of all essential vitamins & minerals you need.

Unlike meats, which have no vitamins and only some amino acids.

>>10635982
>"Eat plants, they have amino acids, it's what people crave!"
Yeah, but what about everything else?
>"But plants have amino acids!"
But do you know what amino acids are?
>"Plants have em!"
Yeah, but what are they?
>"It's what people crave!"

>>10635995
well this is awkward...

>>10635995
>plants also provide 100% of all essential vitamins & minerals you need.

This is patently false.

>Unlike meats, which have no vitamins and only some amino acids.

Yeah, you vegans seem to be purposely spreading misinformation. Meats have tons of vitamins.

>>10635995
>>10635995
>>10635995
>meat has no vitamins

holy ffuck read a book dude LOL

Just ignore the vegetarian commie.

>>10636045

Vitamins that come from meats are mostly the carcinogenic kind and are very, very bad for you. Unlike vitamins that come from actual fruits and veggies.

>>10636083
Not at all true and what you said means nothing at all. Meat borne vitamins are the most easily absorbed by the body whereas in vegetables barring some extremely soluble ones tremendous portions of those nutrients pass through stool. You don't know shit, look up what you're talking about before becoming a zealot.

Very sad to see such a comment. There are plenty of pros to eating vegetables, virtually none for eating vegan when compared to pescitarian/vegetarian with animal biproducts. A vegan will also have more disadvantages nutritionally. No debatable.

Wut

I like rockfish myself. Poached in garlic butter or fried with a panko crust on a sandwich, it's soft and delicate but not too fishy or muddy

>>10636300
I'm the guy shitting on him, its called bioavailability. in that sense they are different in how they are absorbed, but not in what they do. Look up bioavailability in carrots and raw versus heated spinache/kale.

Smear pesto on tilapia, bake at 425 for 6-8 min.
Serve over bed of angel hair coated in Olive Oil and salt.

Whole food vegan fun police here, tofu is junk food.

OP would be better off with chia, flax, and maybe an algae supplement. Fish don't make omega-3s. They originate from algae. It's why farmed fish fed soy doesn't have it.

>>10637112
I'm sure our ancestors huddled starving in dirty caves dreamed of the day when they could get a nice handful of grass seeds and algae

>>10637124
Who cares what worked for the genes, inanimate objects, of your ancestors? Do what's best for *you*, here and now. Read any of the ~40k nutrition studies published each year that catch your interest. Actually read them, and come to your own conclusions instead of relying on that "man bites dog" noise """journalists""" shit out. Services like sci-hub make it easy to circumvent paywalls :-)

Please don't do this it's unhealthy. Google: aluminium foil + salt

Dover Sole is incredible

>>10634504
I find it a shame when people "bastardise" fish like this. It's like fish for people who don't like fish. IMO fish is nicest, grilled, baked or fried whole or at the very least just filleted.

If you're on a budget: Sardines and Mackerel are god-tier in terms of nutrition, price and the fact that they're almost never farmed. Red mullet or Sea Bream if you've got money.

And I think you're talking out of your ass. It's fish and onion fried in a pan. There's absolutely nothing "bastardised" about grinding it. Are you too much of a hipster purist to chew it too?
That cod was alive six hours before that photo was taken too. People who "don't like fish" probably never had a fresh one. If they genuinely don't like it they won't like it this way either and they should be shot anyway.
