Bunch of recent fish cooks
« Reply #-1 on: July 20, 2016, 05:24:27 AM »
We have been pretty busy recently and haven't had too much time for any BBQ, but because of the heat we pretty much use the grill for every dinner on the weekend.   

First up is Lionfish, an invasive fish that was originally from Southeast Asia, made its way as pets to the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas.  A local grocer carried these in select stores, so I drove about 30 minutes to get it.  Although it was good I will not be driving a distance to get it again, however if there is one local to me I would get it again.  I had the store fillet it for me because although the poisonous spikes are cut off, they have more protective gear than I do, and didn't want to take any chances.  Simple quick cook on the gasser with flipped Grill Grates, salt pepper, lemon zest and juice while it was on the grill.

Whole Lionfish


Cooking:


Plated with Roasted purple carrots from my garden, peas, and roasted garlic couscous


Secondly, Sockeye Salmon is wild caught, without the king salmon price.  I try to by wild caught fish whenever possible and during the Summer we can get fresh Sockeye.  I have a ton of basil, which is growing like wild fire so I have been making pesto and putting it on everything.  Topped the Salmon with pesto and roasted on the grill with wtih a mix of orange, yellow, and white carrots from the garden, roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Salmon


Carrots


Plated with grilled peppers, and homemade wine my dad made for my mom's birthday last year.

Lastly Whole snapper.  For Father's Day weekend, we were down at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.  They have a seafood stand that is truly fresh and amazing.  I picked up a bunch of different fishes, one being whole red snapper.  Usually I like jerk flavors with snapper, however my wife got me this monthly gift box, called "Try the World" where they send you a shoe box full of items from a different country each month.  I am anti-french cooking for a variety of reasons, which I will not get into, however in that box there was a great spice mixture of salt, pepper, oregano, dried garlic, dried shallots, perfectly balanced.  Everything was in French so the company stuck an after market label saying what was in it.  I used that with lemon zest, juice, and olive oil to make a paste to rub up and marinate the fish for 2 hours in the fridge before hitting the grill at about 475 for 15-20 minutes.  I also added some lemon slices in the cavity.  It was really good, even my wife asked for me to do it again.

Snapper (with carrots, need to make room for the next batch to be planted!)

Love the salmon and snapper.  Not interested in lion fish.

When I used to dive a lot while stationed in Hawaii, I used to see the lion fish quite often.  I remember going into the mouth of a cave on the North Shore and seeing the cave filled with two deadly fish, lion fish and stone fish.  I backed out slowly and left that cave alone.  Not taking any risks with those fish.

Dang, those are some good looking cooks!    Love the pesto on salmon idea-- especially all of that fresh out of your garden.   Carrot colors are beautiful.

Presentation on that snapper is top notch, too!!
