Houseplant Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Hope you're not getting bored, one more to go after this one. Indian fish fry using snapper wings/collars with Indian-style salad. Spicy 🥵 Should have been raita, but I'm only human and settled for Greek Yoghurt this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Looks tasty, but it wouldn't be acceptable at our table. My wife turns her nose up at any fish with heads or bones extant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 They're pretty good in that respect, you can eat the wings pretty much like chicken wings. We also cook big and small fish whole. Piper, a kind of garfish get eaten whole like whitebait, but they are about 6 inches long. Doesn't sound like one for your wife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea food is some my favourite food, your a lucky man to have such variety of fish and what seems an abundant supply and size of fish. Keep em coming.

Houseplant Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 We people of northern European descent are unique in eating out fish in neat little boneless parcels. The rest of the world get stuck in to the whole fish and wouldn't waste a thing. I worked with a group of Indian nurses. To a fish, every capture gets treated the same way whether it mullet or a big shark. Guts out, scales off and steaked, Job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do, more so in the summer months. We see them occasionally. The big game fishing fraternity are always pleased to see them because they indicate warm water is here and are a favourite food of marlin.

Takes me back to the early 60’s and visits to Indian restaurants when some of us did think it really was duck on the menu - that was before we sampled it !!! I even managed to buy dried Bombay Duck which were reconstituted by soaking in water then deep fried. The house stunk like sweaty feet for ages and I was banned from preparing them again.

hushpower Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I got caght out in the early 80s on a vist to a Indian restaurant after the pub .Wasnt into indian food looking for something i could relate to. Ordered the bombay duck thinking half a duck...and a dried fish skeleton turns up on a plate & i was ****** off to say the least at the time i was like a ravenous alsation. Another time looking for basic english fodder i ordered the bombay potatoes.. which after the first mouthful nearly blew my tupay off.

Houseplant Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 (edited) You won't get to see number 4. My wife cooked a Thai red curry with the remaining fillets. She made the curry base from scratch and it was excellent. However, her plating skills are not as good as her cooking and I'm not putting a picture like that next to my name. Some of you would have liked it though! Edited February 6 by Houseplant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
