Cooking WHATEVER I catch NEXT...Catch Clean Cook Mystery Fish
With the possibility of heading home early (due to the weather), we decided to kick things up a notch. We didn't HOW MANY more fish we were going to catch since time was of the essence! Instead of quantity, it was time to go for quality BUT there is a spin. We decided to catch, fillet, and cook (scroll all the way down for the recipe) whatever fish we caught next regardless of quality. Of course, we hoped it would be a fish of quality but when it comes to bottom fishing you never really know what you'll be reeling up next. The possibilities were endless between grouper, snapper, tilefish, blackfin tuna, bonito (trash tuna), and sharks we were going to have to wait to find out.
RECIPE: Homemade Fish Sticks: 1. Prepare and cut fish fillet up into fish stick sized strips 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 3. Heavily season fish with seasoning of choice. We chose the Lemon & Herb Old Bay. 4. Individually coat each fish stick in flour, egg, then panko in that order! 5. Place fish sticks on an oiled oven-safe cooling rack on a baking sheet. If you place your fish directly on a baking sheet flip the fish sticks halfway through cooking. 6. Cook for around 20 minutes or until fish is white and flaky. 7. Serve with tartar sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Enjoy!
Homemade Tartar Sauce: Tartar sauce: 1/2 cup mayo 3 tbs chopped dill pickle 1 tbs fresh dill 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard Lemon juice from half a lemon Salt and pepper to taste
