I'm contemplating trying a new sauce over some black bum fillets - I have a cracking Capers and Horseradish Sauce, but am keen for some alternatives - Does anyone have a favorite sauce they'd be willing to share? It doesn't have to be a white one... or a fish one for that matter... (I'll just improvise)

So I have had some lying around and was wondering what to do with it. This is so easy you won't believe it.

Turn oven on to 200 C and preheat glass tray.

Preboil asparagus lightly in a shallow pan.

Rub room-temp fish down with olive oil, give a heavy coating of sumac, and then fry for a few minutes a side.

Pop straight into oven for 10min .

While its in the oven griddle the asparagus untill cooked.

Plate and serve with a little lemon on the side.

hey guys and gals made a nice recipe last night for prawns and snapper

 7 or 8 king prawns

 nice fillet of snapper

 1 teaspoon chilli (or two if u like it hot i had four and it was nice lol )

2 teaspoon crushed garlic

couple basil leaves

half a lemon

little bit of olive oil

salt pepper

than marinate it them for about an hour in the fridge

then walla lol it is beautiful

Any one have any tips on cooking and preparing Tuna. I'm not into eating them raw ! Can they be filetted and cooked as normal or are they a throw back job ?

Grab one of those pre made fruit salad tubs, some masterfoods crushed chilli and garlic & shove it all in a bit of foil with some dhuie fillet.

Chuck the juice and all from the fruit salad in too.

Bake in oven on 150 celsius for about 20 mins and then eat it.

Will have pics after dinner if it turns out ok....lol only 10 minutes and it's ready.

OK... we all know the sambo as being regarded the neighbour's fish.... so having caught an 18kg specimen last week handed a slab of the fish over to the neighbour who happens to be a Japanese chef !

About half an hour later he passed back over the fence a plate of prepared sambo sashimi, complete with soy, wasabi and lemon.

Just put in the fridge to chill for about an hour was his suggestion, then mix up the soy, wasabi and lemon.

The sambo has basically no smell and is very paletable, with a firm texture when dipped in the sauce.

Shared the sashimi with my neighbour on the other side who also fishes and sceptical about the sambo - he has now changed his mind and has vowed to bring in the occasional sambo to do the same, with the rest for use in curry's !

Sambo sashimi - Makes a great snack with some ice cold beers

cheers,

Always gave my mum my KG's, as I prefer a nice sized Pinky or Dhuey fillet and am generally lucky enough to get one... but yesterday was a different story... only able to take a decent sized KG home... so Mum's going hungry...

... but what do I do? Fillet it? Bake it whole? Crumb it?

There's no recipe on here either... and I know many of you guys are KG crazy, so there must be some cracker recipes out there....

cheers,

Fish sauce, 1 teapoon
brown sugar, 1 teaspoon
coriander, 2 teaspoons chopped
rice, 1 cup cooked

2. Add herring fillets and cook for 3 minutes. Add curry paste and stir for a further munute or until fragrant.

3. Add the coconut milk and increase heat to high.

4. Bring to boil. Add veges, fish sauce and brown sugar.

Caught a fish today...yay!!
Dhue in 12 m water about a stones throw from our front door. Only about 6 kg, but a big suprise when trying for skippy.
Would like to cook it whole over the barbie to feed 12 tomorrow. Am I making a mistake here and need to slab it?? Have cooked a range of fish this way (pretty impressive in the middle of the table), but never Dhue. Any info would be great - before the knife comes out.

any tips on smoking herring.
I like fish but don't realy like the taste of bbq herring. My fishing mate likes them and we always stop at Parmelia bank on the way in and get a dozen.  Love the idea of smoking them but need info on how too.
