ShyGuy's Journal, 09 March 2016

Tonight, I had, pan grilled, white bass, with my dinner. It's a fish I've never had before, but bought a couple of weeks ago because it was on sale. It got mixed reviews, on line, when I inquired about it's taste. Since I was having 2 fillets, I seasoned one with some Old Bay seasoning, and the other with some lemon pepper; I also added a touch of Lawry's seasoned salt to each piece. I liked it, but it's not a fish for the faint of heart, or someone who doesn't like a "fishy fish"; the taste is strong, and I did find a few fine bones in it. I guess it's good that I like it, because I have about six more fillets in the freezer. Using hot sauce and tartar sauce as a condiments helped as well. I'll be experimenting with different seasonings, such as teriyaki sauce, a Korean marinade, and/ or various ethnic seasonings and combinations thereof, to improve the flavor of the fish. Someone, online, suggested that it be soaked in milk, before cooking; the only milk I have on hand is a vanilla almond coconut milk blend, so I guess that will have to do. Weird, maybe, but if it works, then what a discovery. :-)

I find Cod or White Fish (less "fishy" smelling tasting). I usally soak it in a (white Vinegar & water) brine for about 30 minutes prior to cooking. Make sure the vinegar is not too concentrated (as the vinegar will actually COOK the Fish - chemical reaction or something). Rinse the fillet and then cook in Olive Oil w/ lemon pepper, crushed thyme, touch or oregano (or parsley) and then serve it with natural rice and string beans. Very Very good, low cal high protein.

Thanks for the tip on how to deal with the white bass, but I think I'll take a pass on the rice, as it doesn't fit in with my low carb lifestyle. :-)

Never heard of it and there are probably a lot of varieties. Funny how no one likes "fishy" fish, kind of like no one likes "gamey" meat. Now "lobstery" lobster...that sounds delish!
