I have a bag of Cod Fillets, no idea how to cook them and with what. Any suggestions/recipies?

 

Beer batter Fish n Chips. Sounding yummy.

 

Pretty much the thing to do with cod.

 

trying to avoid frying

 

Then just pan sear it. Salt and pepper it, get a skillet, throw some butter in, turn on high, a few minutes on each side and you're done.

 

Throw it back in the ocean...

 

Serious. Cod isnt the greatest, thats the reason why its breaded and fried.

 

30g of protein is good shiz.

Fried = bad.

You dumbo heads, I found better recipes with Google.

 

Frying isn't bad, it's only when you fry using low temperatures. High temps allow the breading to seal and prevent unwanted oil from getting into the protein.

 

Fry at the right temperature and you'll have crispy, flaky and moist fish. Most people fry at low temperatures because they think it'll burn or with not enough oil to save some oil, but in order to have good fried foods, you should get the recommended amount for your fryer or at least a liter of oil to fry. Make sure the oil is up to temperature and don't throw everything in, fry in batches because the more food you have, the lower temperature will drop and you will end up with oily and soggy food.

Tips to fry:

1. Lots of Oil
2. Maintain Temperature with Thermometer or Electric Fryer
3. Small Batches of Food
4. Let Food Rest on Paper Towel

 

I grilled some cod the other day. salt and pepper, put it on a piece of aluminum foil on the webber for ~ 10 minutes. came out great.

 

That's when it's bad. When the oil temp is too low, it gets absorbed by the food. This usually happens when you try to fry too many pieces of food at once and the temp drops.

 

i like my white fish with a miso/sake marinade and then broiled.

Premade marinades can be found at some stores. Or maybe look up recipes for misozuke, or kasuzuke, or misoyaki, or something.
the general recipe is:
1/3 cup sake
1/3 cup mirin
1 cup sugar
1 cup white miso
grated ginger (optional)

I've used this on a lot of different fishes, but never tried on frozen fillets. Usually done w/ black cod. Or over here.............butterfish. I really don't know my fish very well, or how these would compare to cod fillets out of a bag, but no harm in trying.

 

Thought I would repost this here (posted it in the What's for dinner thread)

Made some Goan Fish Curry, with Cod Fillets, turned out really good



Some spices, water, yogurt (used instead of coconut milk), disolve everything and then at medium heat add fish and cook for 10-15 mins.

 

Now that curry looks yummy.....good thing to do with cheap fish like cod. The Indians didn't invent curry for nothing...it's good for rotten or poor quality protein.

 

Ocean FTW

 

Grill them on the BBQ...

Seafood is always good grilled.
