Fried Fish Dinner Recipes

One of the quickest and easiest ways to cook a fish is to fry it. Not only does it save you time but fried fish often has a lovely crisp skin on top that helps protect the tender flesh within.

To ensure all fish bones are removed, start by using a pair of fish tweezers or needle-nose pliers to pull out any visible bones. Run your fingers over the flesh to feel for any remaining bones and remove them gently. When filleting the fish, use a sharp knife and follow the natural lines of the fish to avoid missing any bones. For extra precaution, you can ask your fishmonger to remove the bones or purchase boneless fillets. Thoroughly inspecting and handling the fish carefully will help ensure all bones are removed.

Herbs and spices that pair well with fish include dill, parsley, thyme, and basil, which add fresh and aromatic flavours. Lemon and lime zest or juice provide a bright, citrusy complement to the delicate taste of fish. Spices like paprika, cumin, and coriander offer a warm, earthy flavour, while garlic and ginger add a pungent and zesty kick. Additionally, a touch of fennel seeds or tarragon can enhance the overall taste, making the fish dish more complex and flavourful.

The best types of fish to cook with include salmon, which is rich and flavourful, making it versatile for various cooking methods like grilling, baking, and pan-searing. Cod is another excellent choice, known for its mild taste and flaky texture, perfect for fish and chips or baking. Tilapia is a budget-friendly option that cooks quickly and pairs well with a variety of seasonings. For a more delicate flavour, try cooking with sole or flounder, which are ideal for light sautéing or poaching. Tuna and swordfish, with their firm texture, are excellent for grilling and searing.

There are numerous sauces that complement fish dinners, enhancing the natural flavours of the fish. A classic lemon butter sauce, made with melted butter, lemon juice, and herbs, is simple yet delicious. Tartar sauce, with its creamy base and tangy pickles, is perfect for fried fish. A garlic and herb sauce, made with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs, adds a Mediterranean touch. For a spicy kick, try a Cajun or Creole sauce with tomatoes, bell peppers, and spices. Additionally, a light and refreshing mango salsa or a creamy dill sauce can provide a delightful contrast to the fish.

To determine when fish is done cooking, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, which should read 63°C for fully cooked fish. The flesh should appear opaque and easily flake with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the fish dry and less flavourful. Another method is to use the tip of a knife to peek into the thickest part of the fish; if the flesh is opaque and separates into flakes, it is done. Ensuring the fish reaches the proper temperature and has a flaky, tender texture will result in perfectly cooked fish.

Yes, you can use frozen fish for Mob’s fish dinner recipes. Frozen fish is often flash-frozen at sea, preserving its freshness and nutritional value. To use frozen fish, thaw it properly by placing it in the refrigerator overnight or using the defrost setting on your microwave. Ensure the fish is fully thawed and pat it dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture. Using frozen fish can be a convenient and economical option, providing flexibility in meal planning while still delivering delicious results.
