The Pescetarian Thread Recipes/Discussion

Hollylane · 04-09-2013, 08:33 AM

I am an environmentally conscious pescetarian, who utilizes the Seafood Watch Program to make decisions about what species to eat.

Sadly, I'm lacking in experience in cooking fresh seafood, and because I am committed to cooking only fresh foods, I'm hoping that other like minded pescetarians can share some of their experiences, recipes and tips.

Although I try eat vegan as much as I can, sometimes I succumb to my one vice: fish/seafood (lobster in particular) due to familial cultural background. I tend to do simple for a lot of this: butter (a little but not huge amount), garlic, pasta and done. I've done salmon wrapped in foil with mayo and dill spice baked in the oven (I think it was 350-375 for 20 min or so).

Salmon is my favorite and therefore what I love to grill.
In tin foil place skin side down 1 filet with a pat of butter, dill, and the juice of 1 lemon, zest and place halves in foil with filet. Make package tight.

Over medium heat on grill place skin side down for 10-12 minutes remove and enjoy.

Hint can be done in a large skillet with water filled half way to the top. Allow to boil first and then put package in skin side down...10-12 minutes.

How convenient Corkey, salmon is what's on the menu for tonight, and I haven't yet filled the propane tank on the grill. So, now I know how to do it on the stove top! Thank you, and make sure the cat knows I'm grateful that your arm was released!

Since I'm big on sauces, I'll probably try pairing this with my sour cream/dill/horseradish/lemon juice sauce.

Okay, now I feel like I'm starving to death!

If you like crispy skin, use a cast iron skillet well seasoned.
EVOO to start, flesh side down, 2-3 minutes to lightly brown, flip and add a pat of butter, 6-7 minutes then spoon juices over fish until done to your taste. Same goes with trout or any other firm fish with skin. Season to taste.

*Groan*

Sometimes it feels like all the cards are stacked against me. I'm trying to do all of the right things, and the people who want the money, just don't give a fuck.

After I read this, and watched the video (the link to the video in the article you posted was broken):

Food experts surprised at lack of concern over mislabeled fish in Canada

I looked up a local "fishmonger", and they have excellent reviews. For those of you in the Portland metro area, you can click their logo below, for a link to their site.
