Is that a snapper? I don’t know if I made it correctly, but it tasted very off.

>>11606615
Tilapia. What did you do with your snapper??

>>11606622
put a lot of black pepper and lime

Tilapia is born tasting bad not much you can do to improve shit

>>11606629
That's why you put a bunch of salt and make a sauce for it.

Chinese have the right idea. If you have a really nice fresh fish, steam it
On a plate in a bamboo steamer over a pot of water.
then infuse some ginger in oil, and pour it over with some cilantro and lemon

If you've got a slightly old or shittier fish, flour it and fry it in a wok and make a sauce with chilli

I don't know what your next step would be but if it's baking then you dun fucked up

What do you think of en papillote? That's my preferred method for fresh fish that I've caught

>>11606776
I am going to add water every 3 minute of baking. Well, I did. It's done now.

>>11606811
I am going to say the N-Word

>>11606819
Came out pretty good my dude. Moist and flavorful. Made a mint, parsley, caper, sauce for it.

>>11606833
i would have filleted it personally

>>11606833
eh, i am jealous and i'm sure it's delicious
>>11606803
I used to do that too. It's not bad. But steamed chinese style is better. I highly recommend you try it out, especially if you're lucky enough to have really fresh fish you catch yourself.

>>11606836
Tilapia are super easy to filet too

Enjoy your mercury.

>>11606852
You're right. But this guy was rather small. Thought I could get more meat by baking and flaking.

>>11606629
Like most meat, it tastes like nearly nothing at all, save for what you flavor it with. I've tasted it unflavored and unseasoned, doesn't taste like much of anything and surely doesn't taste "bad". As with most meat, its purely a texture appeal. For the texture of fish, I prefer to flavor it with salt and lemon. Without the flavoring, its as bland and boring as all other meat.

>>11606860
Sweetest of the transition metals.

>>11606622
I know it's tacky, but snapper is *excellent* when you just blast it with cajun seasoning. It's even better if you make your own spice mix.

what the fuck are you talking about

Meat has very little flavor. Often, none at all. Fruits and vegetables have very strong and distinct flavors, and don't require salt to define them. Why does this bother you? Go on then, steam some chicken or beef. Taste it. Then steam some bell pepper or onion. This is a small example, but meat tastes like literally nothing. Put some oil in a pan and saute some chicken without any additional flavoring. Try it. Tastes like nothing at all. Do the same for onion. Compare. Meat is bland as fuck and you can't shitpost your way out of it. The entire appeal is texture, and you flavor that texture with additives.

Are you sure Jesus wanted so much lemon?

>>11606592
No nigga, he's dead.

>>11607515
based retard

>>11607463
fruit and meat both have flavour and taste good lad

>>11607463
did you just tell someone to cook meat without half a pound of seasoning caked into it? thats like trying to eat a salad without half a liter of ranch. might as well just eat unflavored protein powder

>>11607508
Vitamin C is vitamin Christ.

"For I was blind, but now I C"

>>11607557

"Holy C."

>>11606592
one way to find out

>>11606592
Jesus would want more citrus

I dont think so, it appears he has passed away

>>11606592

unfortunately i think that he's dead.

>>11606776
sure thing Chang

>>11606860
perfect for self defense against moon people

>>11606592
I'm afraid to say he won't make it. If he isn't already dead he will be soon.

>>11606592
>lemon, rosemary, bayleaf

Shit combo.

Try the patrician Mediterranean:
>Cumin, Garlic, Chili, and a squeeze of lemon after serving

>>11607299
is salmon the only fish that tastes delicious even unseasoned?

>>11607463
I'd say it heavily depends on where you get your meat from.

>>11612115
tuna dumby

>>11612115
Tuna is also good. Grilled mackarel is okay without any spices.

>>11612115
Sea bass is pretty based

>>11607299
I'm sorry to tell you this anon, but your taste buds are fucked.

>>11612081
this rosemary is overpowering on fish.

>>11612081
I put sage, rosemary, and parsley. Lemon, salt, and a good dose of black pepper.
I only used those herbs because I wanted to use them up. Its only tilapia, cost me lime 2 dollars. I got 2 more frozen to try out. I'll make another thread about that guy as well.
