The Hungry Boy goes fishing.

Went fishing in Kettering at 5a.m. yesterday morning hoping to catch just a few mackerel, I ended up with quite the fisherman's basket. It was amazing catching these fish, watching the sunrise over Bruny Island knowing that a great dinner was to come..

3 Blue Warehou? Not sure what the top one is. Can anyone identify these fish?

  1 Squid, 6 Mackerel, 1 Wrasse

 Mackerel sashimi

Whole pan fried fish, simple is great.

Super Easy Portuguese Sardines

Here's a quick and easy sardine dish perfect for parties. I started off with 1kg of sardines, definitely too much for the table but they are still great the next day, possibly even better!

Method
Remove the heads and guts from the sardines, cover each fish lightly in breadcrumbs. Fry in vegetable oil. When cold* arrange on a plate and drizzle with a good olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. Garnish with chopped parsley.

*This dish can be served hot but I prefer them cold because the flavour of the fish is improved.

 

Wrasse ceviche

Made a ceviche from the wrasse I caught yesterday. Very simple to make.

1. Filleted and skinned the fish
2. Cut fillet into 1 cm thick slices
3. Made a marinade of lime juice, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, sugar, finely sliced celery stem, chilli, Italian parsley and onion
4. Combined the fish and marinade in a freezer bag and left it in the fridge for four hours
5. Made a fresh salad to go with the fish, the left over juices made a nice dressing combined with olive oil.

One fillet was enough for two decent sized entrees. A refreshing and healthy snack.
