I need a good fish recipe

ILikeBigTiddys · 06-18-2007, 01:04 PM

Me and the wif have been bbq'ing damn near everyday now. Its all good but we both only agree on pork, beef and chicken. Since we're both not huge seafood fans I'm trying to find something that we both like. Is there a huge difference in taste between 2 different kinds of fish?

Simply Red · 06-18-2007, 01:06 PM

Tilapia is a safe choice due to how mild O fish it is. I'd buy some blackening seasoning in the spice section. Some good olive oil and sautee it on high until flacky(meaning it is done.)

Additionally, you want to put the Blackening seasoning on fairly heavy on both sides hence the name; "Blackening."

StcChief · 06-18-2007, 01:08 PM

Tilapia or some farm raised Catfish. (not channel cat).

your can make Fish tacos are very good too.

I am not a huge seafood fan (don't like things that taste too "fishy) but I can vouch that Tilapia and Orange Roughy are two kinds of mild fish that taste good

Orange Roughy - marinade with Teriyaki and pineaple juice. Very tasty fish on the grill recipe.

Walleye is expensive, but probably the mildest fish you can buy, i8t makes tilapia taste like carp. Try broiling it with a little lemon butter and garlic baste, or best of all, fish tacos. Just place some olive oil in a skillet, then minced onions and garlic and lime juice. Then add the fish fillets and sort of chop them up a bit. Add a fair amount of chopped fresh cilantro, and a packet (or half for two fo you) of store bought taco seasoning. Stir it all up and make tacos out of it. It gets rave reviews. Since you are into Qing, try a bbq rub on trout and grill it, just be sure to oil down the grates first. I have a bunch more, I eat alot of fish, but that should do for now.

I found this:
Tilapia Wrap
Living in a city by the sea, we try to incorporate lots of fresh fish into our diet, because man (and woman) cannot live with BBQ alone. The General got an idea about fixing some tilapia. The problem with tilapia is that on its own its taste is pretty bland. Still being fascinated with the versatility of wraps, I decided to do a tilapia wrap for last night's dinner. I was inspired by a recipe on the package of Chicken of the Sea premium shrimp which you should be able to find in the canned meat section of your local supermarket. This is exactly what I was looking for to kick the tilapia up a couple of notches. It called for salsa (and TG used Newman's salsa with corn and blackbeans) and combining it with ranch dressing (equal amounts). This mixture made an excellent topping to which I added the shrimp. To make the wrap, sprinkle a blend of shredded monterey jack/colby cheese on the soft tortilla, place the grilled tilapia on top of the cheese mixture and finish it off with the topping.

I used blackening seasoning and some of Emeril's seafood magic to season the tilapia. I then put it on a piece of aluminum foil that had been brushed lightly with olive oil so the fish wouldn't stick. It was cooked on the indirect zone on the grill. Most seafood recipes tell you to cook the fish until it flakes, but to prevent overcooking always use your instant read thermometer and never exceed 130*.

The thing that makes wraps so versatile is you are only limited by your imagination. Here are some things I didn't add, that you may want to try: green onions, black olives, guacomole, sour cream, Mexican style kernel corn, and chopped iceberg lettuce.

A good fish for grilling, especially if you're new to it, is swordfish. The steaks are usually cut 3/4" or more thick so they're easy to manage without them falling apart.

A basic marinade for two swordfish steaks:

4 tbs olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbs soy sauce
1 clove garlic minced
salt, pepper, parsley or cilantro, to taste

Marinate the sword for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, fire up the grill. When the grill is ready, oil the grill grate, then place the steaks directly on the rack. Now walk away and leave them alone for about 6 minutes. Then flip them (carefully, you'll want a good sized grill spatula) and baste with a little olive oil or reserved marinade. Leave them be for another 6 or so minutes, you'll know when they look ready.

I like this with a little rice and a salad. Easy summer dinner, not much work or time. I've been making fish or seafood 2-3 times a week on the grill lately. No surprise, the more I do it the better the results I get.

Foil boat, butter, beer and lemon pepper....add fresh caught fish.

MVChiefFan · 06-18-2007, 02:41 PM

In my opinion, Mahi Mahi is the way to go with fish. It's absolutely the least fishy tasting fish that there is.
