Fish is delish. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Not sure how many of you watch that Sport Fishing show w/ Dan Hernandez, but I tune in every once in a bit. I really dig the "Galley" part of the show.
I'm no great cook by any means, but I like to eat well, so I'm learning.
I've also been super motivated by certain members on BWE. Um...Drake.
I forget the name of the chef guy who did the segment, but he used
Cheez-Its as a crust for the fish. I figured it would be good, but not this good.
The filets I used were a Sugar Bass that I had recently caught.
Put a handful of the crackers in a baggy, smashed them all up, and then coated
the fish, and into the frying pan. No oil, butter, or anything.
Made a side of brown rice and some sauteed spinach too, paired it with a fine
brew from our friends at Ballast Point.
Cheez-Its...who would've thought?

one of the easiest and best ways to cook rock fish is to lightly coat them in flour, then in beaten egg, then a good coating of Panko bread crumbs. Add salt and pepper to the fillets before cooking. then fry in olive oil or butter. you need to fry in oil/butter cause fish has very little to no fat and it give flavor. the panko give the fish a crunchy texture

So, how did it taste?

It looks killer.

I recall seeing one of his 'Galley' shoots when the cook on some sportfisher made a plate of I can't remember what it was, but as soon as D H bit into it he paused for a quick second, caught himself and proceeded to say the using script, "Taste really good".

Nice job Rob. Looks delicious!
I've heard corn flakes make another great crust.

RobFish · 11-05-2012, 04:01 PM

It was very good. The fish itself was very mild in flavor and texture.
The cheesy crust was super tasty, easy to make, and will be done again.
I've done the corn flakes crust before, and the potato flakes version too.
Best part was just experimenting with new recipes, and spending time in the kitchen.

Looks good Rob. Thanks for the idea and post. It would be cool if we had a recipe area on the BWE forum.
