COds fishy adventures

[cod]

ok as you may know dh has been diagnosed wiht high cholesterola dn soa by product of this is now we are going to UP our fish consumption. Now i cna cook but am ratehr scared of fish(!) so i thought it may be interesting to have a fishy thread where we cna try out new fihs _ i knwo JOOLstoo is into eating more fihs.

so day one
recipe planned is \link{http://www.waitrose.com/food_drink/recipes/recipesearch/recipe/0602r04.asp\here, BUT they had no halibut at teh market today - so i am using hake - another firm fleshed fish apprently}

so will report back on difficulty
bones
taste

there's no need to make a mockerel of her

arf!

think our tesco has them but they keep changing where they're shelved. Either with the olives etc, or with the dried mushrooms, or on the special ethnic aisle-end display thing with the Thai curry paste. Or they come marinated in oil and stuff in the chiller with the salsa and dips.

you'll def get them in waitrose though

ok
any more successes folks?

whole red mullet, in oven with splash of olive oil, sprigs of thyme and lemon juice/garlic. served wtih couscous mixed with softened onions/tomatoes/garlic/thyme

yum factor?
bones factor?

quite a "meaty" fish, plenty of bones but they're easy to spot and pull out most of them in one go. quite pricey..

may try brill next week.
also - had some torbay sole (different to lemon or dover apparently) from M&S which was v delicate. good wtih new pots, green beans etc

[oh... just can't resist...]

deffo brill!

i effin HATE that sub shool girl experssion

I don't think I'd ever heard it before I came on mumsnet :o

did the salmon with sundreid tomato crust tonight
dh said it was the nicest fish he had ever had.

forgot to print the recipe so just did breadcrumbs with with sundried tomatoes - blitzed in blitzer with some olives and balck pepper and a shake of chilli powdersmeared on salmo and cooked for abotu 20 mins in oven

does dh want ot marry me p?

cod, I don't know about your dh's cholesterol level but you're not going to help his blood pressure if he hears about this

did another jamie oliver one tonight - not fish
pork with rhubarb
sounds gross but was gorgeous...dont think it will be low cholestrol though

do you think we could do cod with rhubarb???

cod and rhubarb:)

yes, interesting combination don't you think? :)
