I love red snapper.
If I had filets I would steam or lighty flour and shallow fry gently in mild OO and butter.
Season lightly and make a lemon dressing with a few capers from the frying liquid.
Phrasty, if you think red Snapper is the best fish around, you need to get down here for a holiday!
Mi casa su casa bro, but Red Snapper will never be the same for you again!:wink:
:heh: What you mean? You will show me better?? :crazy::heh:I'm there bro!
OK well let me clarify... Snapper is the best "white" fish out there... Well actually there is ONE (white) fish that I think can do out do snapper for me and thats Squirrel fish... Gimme 6 of those fried up with some scotch bonnet sauce, a good beer and a beach chair and you could call me whatever the fark you like, I'd be a happy man! :thumb:
OK :focus:
Khs... Another thing I LOVE to do with snapper is to make fish tea... it's really not a tea but rather a light soup/broth. I'm sure snapper is a bit cheaper here than for you so I dunno how willing you'd be to make this but it's pretty damn good! I throw in other seafood as well sometimes and it's a soup so it's only limited to what you have. I'm sure it can work out quite hearty. Something different to do with fish... plus it'll be good for the cold nights! :thumb:
Fish Tea/Soup
INGREDIENTS :
1.5 - 2 lb fillets
3 qrts. water
2 large or medium cloves garlic
1 sprig thyme
3 stalks escallion
2 medium potatoes
1 carrot
1 corn cut into 1" "disks"
4 finger of green bananas (you can use yams or sweet potatoes if this is hard to find)
1 green scotch bonnet pepper
salt to taste
black pepper
few pimento seeds
2 lemons or limes
I like to add a piece of pumpkin to mine. Just peel it then boil it in the soup. When it gets soft remove it and blend or "mush" it with a fork (I use a stick blender) then add it back to the soup and continue to simmer.
You can also add shrimp, crawfish, conch, lobster... whatever seafood you like.
METHOD:
Wash fish in Vinegar or Lemon and drain
Combine the fish, garlic and water to boil until fish starts to break up
Wash the potatoes, corn, carrot and dice (Size is up to you).
Add to the soup with salt
Peel and add green bananas.
Add thyme, escallion, pepper, pimento and black pepper
& Simmer for another 15 mins. Traditionally we serve this with
Excelsor crackers.
