Used to get 'rock salmon' (aka dogfish) suppers when I worked in seaside towns in England. Very nice it was, too. Never seen it in Scotland. Do you still get it in English chippies?
Loved halibut when I worked in catering. Only time I've ever had it. Ordered John Dory in a restaurant once just to try it and it was great.
A mate tells me he used to eat shark regularly in Australia. Says its brill, but never seen it here.

Your mate's wrong - shark & brill are two different fish

I've been using Tilapia fillets to make a rather nice curry of late.
If you're interested. Get a wok, or big frying pan. Fry a chopped onion, some garlic. for a few mins Add Curry paste, Curry powder, fry another min Then a little Mustard seeds, cinnamon, chilli powder (or chopped chilli), Optional - A little Asafoetida, Coriander powder, sugar, celery salt - (I use them all) fry another min Add 4 fillets, cut into approx 1 inch squares, fry 3 mins. Add 1 tin of coconut milk. stir gently simmer for about 15 mins stir gently occasionally. bloody lovely. It's what I made last night. |

You don't see "Rock Salmon" on menu's anymore because you have to put the "species , I have it on the menu as Rock , and in parentheses " Huss " , In Australia they do eat shark in chippies, goes under the name " Flake " very nice it is too.

Anchovies , LOl, i believe it is the hardest part of a sex change operation, inserting the anchovies

Morrison's sell tilapia.
Whiting is cheap and tasty imo. Gurnard and coley as well. In a restaurant the other day, I ordered 'St Ives Bay Lemon Sole' it turned out to be Sand Sole. |
|
By:
TINS Of tuna underrated imo
|
|
By:
Whiting is a good call, a very tasty and underrated fish, imo
|
|
By:
Bill - I used to be a fisherman. My mother-in-law would never accept whiting, saying it was 'cat's fish'. I gave her fillet one day and told her that it was cod. She reckoned it was the best 'cod' she'd ever tasted.
|
|
By:
Excellent! Did you tell her afterwards?
|
|
By:
Whiting i find a bit "cotton woolly " , nice flavour mind.
|
|
By:
dont like whiting or coley, coley is very boney, think whiting is bland. monkfish is nice. very succulent and slightly sweeter than other white fish.
|
|
By:
Red Snapper at our local Thai is an awesome tasting fish
|
|
By:
Don't hear much about Derek William Dick any more.
|

By:
Not sure Mackerel counts given the question, BUT AWESOME when fresh (and gutted soon as caught). Huss maligned on here, but very flavoursome and great for those who love fish but hate bones. (It has none, just an easily removed "spine" through the middle.
Re Monkfish, my ex fisherman dad finds the popularity/price of this very odd. He used to catch them for bait!!. |
