Spur's 5-Star Fish.

[SpurHunter]

I made this the other day, and Cheez asked me about it in detail. So tonight I made it again and took some pics to show the whole recipe and prep.</p>

You can sub most any fish for your use. </p>

</p>

I start with a huge sweet onion and Julienne it.</p>

</p>

Into a heavy sauce pan on med heat with a dab of butter and olive oil. Salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and chopped garlic. You want to sweat the onions not "fry" them, so as to really bring out the sweet flavors. </p>

</p>

When the onions are clear, add the julienne peppers and sliced mushrooms. DO NOT USE CANNED..emoVomit Add a little more oil becausethe shroomsreally soak up the oil.</p>

</p>

Continue cooking on medium heat until peppers are almost soft. </p>

</p>

Add 2 tablespoons of flour to veggies stir well and cook for 2 more minutes to soak up any oil. </p>

</p>

Add half-N-half, cream or milk if thats all you have on hand, and let simmer on low/med while your cooking the rest.</p>

</p>

Tonight I used some tri-color rotini pasta, but I like rice pilaf with fish the best, or even linguine, or angel-hair pasta. </p>

</p>

Cook pasta, drain and set aside. </p>

</p>

I cut the fish into smaller sized pieces, (not bite-size) as it makes the rest of this easier. Tonight it was striper from Tim's Ford...my FAVORITE!</p>

</p>

Rinse fish and leave damp (not soaking) then "Bathe" the fish with Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic by hand-mixing the fish in a bowl as shown.Dont over-due the spice, your not "blackening" the fish, just seasoning it. </p>

</p>

Roll each piece in Italian bread crumbs, and then pan-fry inhot olive or peanut oil, remember were are not deep-frying here, just a thin layer of oil in pan. Your just getting the fish crispy on each side, and then into the baking pan. </p>

</p>

While your doing this, if your really good, you can finish the sauce between coating, flipping and pulling the fish. All you really need to do at this point is to make sure it is about as thick as fresh Alfredo sauce. </p>

</p>

If you used heavy or half & half, it should be close. </p>

</p>

I had to use some skim milk tonight to get enough sauce, so I mixed some Corn starch with cold water in a bowl, and then 3-4 tablespoons of this thickened it up perfectly. </p>

</p>

After all your fish is ready and in the pan, pour the sauce over the fish and into the oven on broil for about 7 minutes. This will brown the veggies up, and finish cooking any thick pieces of meat. </p>

</p>

Serve over the pasta or rice, a nice salad on the side or maybe some fresh steamed broccoli, and your set to indulge. </p>

were you wearing them new crocs while cooking this? emoPoke emoBigsmile

 

[Guest]

Spur, you have missed your calling my man, you should be cheffing someplace, no wonder you can't catch any fish, you have spent your whole life cooking fantastic food.

 

[SpurHunter]

Hope yall give it a try and enjoy it. I will try and do some more for you guys too.

If'n I had lots-o-money like Doc or Bprice, I would have a little place on the water somewhere, open for a few hours a day, then fish and hunt......a man can only dream.

I gave it a try last week when Spur told me about. Mine was a bit different because I did not have any peppers or fresh mushrooms on hand. I left the peppers off and used canned mushrooms. I used saltwater speckled trout and spotted bass fillets. It was fantastic and I will be making it again soon.

[craazyboutbass]

Were these the Parksville spots? Looks really good too!

 

[SpurHunter]

No this was striper from Tim's Ford, but the first time I made it last week I used those spots, and MAN they were good too!

I didnt use the green pepers the first time, I use some green oinions instead though. To each his own, but I never use canned shrooms!
