Made ceviche with sculpin for the first time. Amazing! Soaked the diced fillets in lime and lemon for (4) hours, drained and served with freshly chopped onion, avocado, cilantro, grape tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste.

Fish and Chips
 

Went Rock Fishing with Yanni on 5-20-2015. Tried out my Brand new 2015 Outback and Brand New HDS5 Fish Finder.

Well the fish finder found the rock fish at 146 feet, wide open Rock Fish Bite, Easy Limit.

Here are the Big Guys …..

Tarter Sauce, make a few hours ahead of time to infuse all the flavors.

Mayonaise
Lime Juice
Dried Dill Leaves
Dill Relish
Pepper
Onion Powder
Garlic Salt
Blacken Fish Spice


Beer Batter, the absolute best way to fry fish.

I use a two step process, coat the filets first in the dry spice flour then dip in the wet egg, spiced flour, and freezing cold beer mix.

Dry spice flour

Flour
Dried Dill Leaves
Salt
Pepper
Powdered Onion
Garlic Salt or Powder
Blacken Fish Spice

Wet mix

One egg, beaten
Small amount of the above dry spice flour
Freezing Cold GOOD beer , add after the oil is screaming hot and you are read to dip as the mix will be light and foamy.

Fry in very hot oil, turn, pat cooked fish with paper towels to remove extra oil.


Chips

I normally fry russet potatoes but my wife made wanted something different this night.

Cut Red Potatoes
Olive oil
One Package Lipton Onion Soup
Bake in oven


For greenery, we added a Kale Salad.

Super Yummy Dinner.

Ultimate Fish Sandwich
 

I used the rockfish in the above post to make a second meal.

Use the tarter sauce and beer batter recipe above for this sandwich.

Add a fresh roll, slice of tomato, and lettuce, top with tarter sauce and enjoy the best fish sandwich that I have ever had.

Both meals look real Yummy, Chris! What beer did you pair up with the meals?

Any craft beer in a bottle that is on sale at Albertsons , this time it was Fat Tire Amber Ale. Beer need to be near freezing for best results.

Enjoy

PS Posted 4 am on a Sunday, guess where I am going today?

That sandwich looks amazing.

Wow Chris!! The food looks very yummy. If you lived closer,
I'd be over for dinner all the time. My favorite picture is
of the Red Fish on the Red New Kayak!

Way to take it up a notch Chris! Really love the red on red photo of the fish as well as the two dishes you prepared.
