Bluebone Grouper meets Deba (pr0n)

[buccaneer]

Remarkable delicious soft flakey white fleshed bluebone groper is a privilage to eat.
First, we use the Japanese Deba and filet the fish using Japanese techniques so as to limit the wastage.
How did I do?

The head and bones will be respected.
I'll make miso soup with them or something, maybe a Malaysian curry.
Anyway, back to the grouper.
I paired it with medium grain rice and I trimmed Kai Lan, a Chinese green, so the stems were in short lengths and the green leaves separate, chopped up some scallion and shallots, garlic and stir fried them with oyster sauce and chili.

Voila!

First a red snapper our fisheries limits won't let us harvest, now a grouper we don't even have (and probably couldn't harvest if we had them). Geez, I guess I gotta move to OZ.

Great looking dinners!

That's what I'm talking about! Plate me up

Very nice knife skills and a beautiful plate. I know my wife would love it and it looks good enough for me to want to try it. Nice job Sir...

There appear to be ants in your rice

Very nice knife skills. That is my go to way for fish that will be smoked. I tossed out many heads and throats before I gained insight as to how much great tasting meat there was there. Then I learned about the cartilage... Nice catch. Good to know that you'll be eating the best of it.

[deguerre]

It's not the knife, it's the skill of he who uses it. You sir, have skill.

[bluetang]

A serious ass yes!

[Shagdog]

Looks fantastic, Buccs! I'd eat that any day, ants and all

[Haveuseen1?]

We would call that a parrot fish. I think. A type of wrasse.

Looks great!

We have Wrasse, parrotfish all along our coast.
These look similar, but I think they are different.
Prized eating fish, mighty fighter, it is in the tuskfish family.
Called locally" bluebone groper" and also "baldchin grouper", I don't think they have a protactile jaw which is a feature of Wrasse?

I'm no expert, just reading up.

Nice cooking Bucc!
I had parrotPhish once...tasted like Phish steak.
