Fried Striped Bass

 

....Tips....

When you get your fresh fillets home, you need to rinse them with fresh cool water and bag them

into whatever sized portions you choose.

One of the best ways that I have found to freeze striper fillets is to put them into zip-lock

freezer bags or plastic containers, cover them with water, and add a few drops of lemon juice for

freshness. When this freezes, the ice will protect the fillets against freezer-burn for up to

several months.

Before cooking your striper fillets, be sure to remove most of the "red meat", (the red stripe down

the center of each fillet). This is easily done using a large sharp knife and making a long angled

slice down the length of the fillet. Fillets that have been well chilled or frozen and thawed are

the easiest to work with. Usually this will split the fillet down the middle into nice sized

serving pieces.

Striper is tasty prepared in just about any way you want. Baked, fried, broiled, grilled (ask

your guide to leave the skin on one side of the fillet to make this easier), it's all good!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....Fried Striper....

Season moist fillets to taste and place in a zip-lock bag with cornmeal. Zip up and shake to coat.

Fry in hot oil until golden brown & fish is white and flaky inside.

One variation we really like is to season the fillets, then coat them in a bowl with mustard

(usually yellow, but Dijon is good too), add a couple of drops of Louisiana hot sauce, then coat

and fry as described above.

You may want to add a little extra salt when seasoning, as frying seems to remove some of it.

We use peanut oil for frying fish. It holds up well and is reusable. Just try to keep it from

overheating (when it smokes), and you can clean it by frying French fries last, then strain it when

cool to remove the cornmeal and crumbs, put it back in original container and keep in freezer until

next time.

....Baked Striper....

Season fillets with your favorite herbs, spices, etc. Place in lightly oiled shallow pan. Bake at
400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until it flakes easily and is opaque in the center. Serve with
tartar sauce or red cocktail sauce.

OR

Season fillets to taste, coat with Progresso Italian flavored bread-crumbs and bake until golden
brown.

sauce or salsa during baking.

OR CREATE YOUR OWN RECIPE!!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....Blackened Striper....

Heat up your favorite cast-iron skillet and season your fillets. We like cajun seasoning or
Cavender's Greek seasoning, or lemon pepper, but use what you like. Melt a couple tbsp butter
(optional) in skillet and add enough cooking oil to cover bottom of the pan. When the skillet
begins to smoke a little, add the fillets and pester them while they sizzle so they won't stick.
As they reach whatever degree of blackness or brownness you like, flip 'em over and do the same on
the other side. Some folks like to add picante sauce to the final stages of this for something
different.
Be Warned!! This will probably smoke up your kitchen something awful! Do it outside if possible.
Or you can opt for lower heat and add some garlic, or Italian salad dressing for another flavor
altogether.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....Cerviche....

Cut fillets into cubes (1/4 to 1/2 inch). Place in deep bowl and cover completely with fresh
squeezed lime juice. Add diced onion, bell pepper, hot peppers if desired, garlic (coarse powdered
or fresh), chopped fresh cilantro, and whatever other seasoning you like. Cover and let stand in
refrigerator several hours or until fish is tender and white. Add diced tomatoes and avocado
(optional). Add Italian dressing to cover other ingredients. Can be enjoyed immediately with
your favorite crackers or tortilla chips or left to sit a little longer for even more flavor.
Verrrrrrrrry nice!!!!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....Fruit Salsa....


1 ripe mango, diced (or substitute canned peaches or pineapple)
1-1/2 cup picante sauce
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
fresh garlic if desired

This is excellent with grilled striper!!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

....Easy Sauces....

-Red Sauce-

Start out with a small bowl of ketchup. Add worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and prepared
horseradish (comes in a jar) to suit your taste. You can make it as tangy or mild as you like.
Just add a little and taste, add a little and taste, til you get it just right.

-Herb Marinade (reserved
-from Herb Roasted Salmon)



Seafood alternatives: snapper, halibut, rockfish LEMON CHIVE SAUCE: Yes, this is a rich sauce - but

worth every calorie! Combine wine, fish stock, shallots and lemon juice in a medium sized saucepan;
boil over high heat until reduced by half (to just under 1/2 cup). Add cream and boil until sauce
reduces to just under 2/3 cup. Take off heat and slowly whisk in butter then stir in chives and
lemon
peel. (if making sauce ahead, leave out the chives and lemon peel. Stir sauce over low heat to
rewarm - do not completely melt - then add chives and lemon peel)Makes about 1 cup In a small bowl,
combine the garlic, il, rosemary and thyme and parsley. Pour about 2/3 of it into another bowl and
reserve for the vegetables.
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Rub the remaining herb
marinade over the fillet then season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Lay fish on a lightly
oiled immed baking sheet or in a shallow roasting pan (you can prepare the fish up to this point
earlier in the day then refrigerate until ready to cook) Bake in a 400 degree oven until flesh in
center of thickest area is no longer translucent but is still very moist, 20
to 25 minutes for a fillet 1.1/4 to 1.1/2 inches thick in center. Serve with Roasted Vegetables and
Lemon Chive Sauce. (Note: Put vegetables in oven to bake 20 to 25 minutes BEFORE putting striper in
to bake) Peel carrots and trim stem ends. Cut potatoes into eighths.
Husk fresh or frozen corn and cut into 1" rounds. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut diagonally
into 2" pieces Quarter and seed bell peppers, then cut crosswise into narrow triangles. Place
vegetables in a roasting pan or in an 11-by 17-inch baking dish and toss with reserved herb
marinade. Bake, uncovered, in
a 400 degree oven, until vegetables brown on bottom, about 15 minutes. Stir; cover pan and continue
baking, stirring once or twice, until potatoes are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes more. If cooked
bits on pan bottom get very dark and you're concerned about burning, add a few Tablespoons water or
white wine. (If preparing vegetables early in the day, cover cut potatoes with water to prevent
them from turning dark
in the refrigerator. Cut and marinating vegetables can also stand, covered, at room temperature
several hours before cooking) A whole fillet of salmon surrounded by brightly colored vegetables is
a spectacular sight. It is also easy on the cook. You can season the salmon
and the vegetables early so they'll be ready to go when it's time for baking. Big pieces of
brightly colored vegetables look quite festive alongside salmon. A convenient way to cook the
vegetables is in a roasting pan (a disposable pan makes clean up really easy) The sides are high
enough to allow you to place the baking sheets with striper or Herb Toast right on top to bake.

thickness of fish.


Striped Bass

Place fillets in a large pan (at 3 inches deep) lined with tin foil. When it is freshly caught, we

do not put any seasonings on it. Cover with tin foil, and join the edges together, so the fish will

poach in its own juice. Cook in a hot oven (400 degrees F) for about 10 to 15 minutes per inch of

thickness. DO NOT OVERCOOK! We test it during cooking. Pull back edge of foil, insert a fork. If

there is no resistence, it is done. Drain off, and serve with a slotted spoon. Then serve with Joe

Hyde's Beurre Blanc.

Beurre Blanc ala Joe Hyde

serves 8 to 10

This sauce goes well with hot, poached fish.

1/3 cup shallots, chopped

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup water

1 pound butter, cut into pieces

salt and pepper

1/3 cup parsley

Do not pack down the chopped shallots in the cup when measuring them. Slowly simmer the shallot

with the vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat until all the vinegar has boiled away (about 4

minutes). Be careful, if the shallots burn or even get brown, the taste of the sauce will not be

good. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Quickly whisk in the butter, piece by piece.

All of the butter should be incorporated. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in

parsley just before serving. Do not try to keep sauce or to reheat it. It will not matter if it is

barely warm or almost cool, since the fish will be hot and the plates warm
.
