    How can I make fish interesting?

    Hi guys,

     I want to cook fish for dinner tonight but apart from grilling it I have no idea how to cook fish. Does anyone have any good recipes or ideas on how I can make fish interesting?

    The fish I am cooking is BASA fillets.

    Cheers Tracy

    I don't eat meat but on Jamie Oliver's Fifteeen they showed grilling the fish in foil...cutting it in half and adding herbs, vegies or whatever in the middle so the flavours cook within the fish...

     you could stuff it, with a mixture of stuff or you could use rubbings...peri peri, cummin and coriander, garam masala, cayenne pepper etc... or just a squeeze of lime and chilli? 

     I wouldn't know how these would work...I don't eat meat, like I said...but I reckon they'd be pretty good! Big Smile

    Fish can be used for a base for curry. Or you could try a spaghetti marinara.

    Herbs that are nice with fish are dill and fennel. Dried dill leaves can be bought in the herb section, as can dill and fennel seeds.  I often wrap the fish in foil, with dill seeds sprinkled over and a dash of lemon or lime juice, and bake in the oven.  Or pan fry with dill seeds, tyou need very little oil, especialy if a non-stick pan (I use olive for fish).  If you liek hot food you could oput some fresh or dried chillis with the foil roasted fish.

    I used to have a recipe where you mixed dried onion flakes, worcestershire sauce and I think lemon juice into a runny paste and smeared over the fish before baking or grilling.  I can't remember the proportions but I think it was a teaspoon each of the first 2 and a dash of lemon juice.

    Hope you find it deleicious.

    PS: some schools of thought say ocean fish is better for you than basa which is a bottom dwelling river fish.  That said, I've found it quite nice.

    These all sound delicious. I'll have to give them a try.

    See this is my dilemma. I love fish, but it has to be fish that doesn't taste too 'fishy'. I find that freshwater fish has very little fishy taste but ocean fish have a huge fishy taste. I'm really silly arent I????

    Thanks for your suggestions, I'll have to try them out.

    If you get tinned fish such as tuna or salmon- drain off the excess water, chop up some veges and throw them all into a pan with some curry powder and a bit of water& low fat mayo and viola a curry thing.. Well I created so it might not be suitable for human consumption but im alive and ive made it for a while now on theis Cohens thingo...

    I'm not mad on strong tasting fish either. I like the white fleshed ocean fish like orange roughy and ocean perch, but if it looks red fleshed at the fish mongers I avoid it.  A friend up the road brought us 2 gorgeous really fresh snapper he'd caught that day and we baked them with the herbs on the skin and slices of lemon in their inside cavity.  They tasted divine!
