Oside report for Sunday March 9th

Launched around 7 am with CDfisher. Conditions were a little rough heading out with those winds picking up pretty good out of the east. Made it out to the artificial reefs and had some nice action on the calicos and sandies. Just about every anchovie we dropped got bit. Conditions improved for about an hour or so then got really bad. Forced to come in around 11am .

But not before catching the main ingredient to some awesome fish tacos.

Is that a calico or a sand bass?

To me sand bass don't make very good fish tacos. They work better with a different recipe.

It's a sand bass, the filter I put on the picture made it look like a calico. What do you usually do with the sand bass?

With a sand bass I usually make a sauce with them and serve it with rice or pasta.

All kinds of ways you can go.

garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, anchovies- make like a pasta sauce first then gently put the sand bass in the last minute until barely cooked through. Add some pasta to it.

Or just a basic linguine with white clam sauce but use the sand bass instead.

Asian: sichuan boiled fish- doubian jiang, black bean, chile sauce, chicken or fish broth, sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger make the sauce first add the fish but dusted them lightly with flour first and put in the boiling sauce a piece at a time. turn off the heat until the fish is done. Serve with rice.

Garlic, ginger, olive oil, wine, minced anchovies, diced red peppers, diced tomatoes, diced olives, salt pepper put the fish whole in aluminum foil and then bake in an oven for 30-35 minutes. Serve with rice or pasta.

Sand Bass is kind of a dry and flat texture so I like to give it more flavor and moisture so that is why using a sauce helps it.

Mexican- dried chiles de arbol and guajillo: toast them first in a pan but dont burn then boil them until soft. Put in a bender with fresh water and add vinegar, salt and sugar adding a little until you get the right proportions and taste. Let is sit for awhile it gets better.

After you made the sauce, then gently saute some diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapenos until softed. Lightly saute the fish after it has been dusted with flour gently add the vegetables and then the sauce.

Serve with rice.

These should get you started.
