help me pick a striped bass recipe for 2nite

 

You get filets or a whole fish?

 

Isn't that what Scrooge says

 

Also do you have chiles?

And mirin?

What am I working with here?

 

filets. going to sear or roast.
thought about going saltimbocca style with a vermouth butter lemon sauce or any of the following:
Grilled Wild Striped Bass with Fresh Herbs and Sparkling Wine
Broiled Striped Bass with Ginger-Scallion Oil
Wild Striped Bass with Scallions and Herb Salad
Striped Bass with Spiced Vegetables and Cilantro Dressing

 

going to the store after work.

 

Yo, hear me out.

Marinate the fish in mirin, soy sauce, ginger, cut up like 3 green onions, and some pepper for like 30 minutes.

When it's done lightly dredge it in corn starch and then fry it. And like really lightly dredged. Fry the fish til it's crisp on the outside but still moist (I hate that word) on the inside. Pat off excess oil.

When you are done get rid of all but little of oil, enough to cover the following: some ginger (slivered), onion, garlic (slivered), and chiles and let that shit fry and perfume. Maybe like 3 minutes.

Separately combine about a tbsp of garlic chili sauce, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 tsp of sugar, 3 tbsp of water, and 1 tsp of cornstarch. Mix that shit well. Add it to the oil mixture. Let it come together, maybe like another 2 minutes.

Spoon that shit over crispy fish and white rice.

 

Some of those measurements may be off. It's hard to think of when I'm sitting at my desk. But that's one of my favorite ways to prepare fish.

 

That sounds really good. I'm only hesitant because I made a beef stir fry last night and served it with white rice... I don't know if I want to go that route two nights in a row. That was mostly lime, soy, ginger, garlic, touch of mustard, and chiles.

why don't I stop over for dinner sometime soon once you get to a fish market?

If not, I will make that the next time I cook fish. It really does sound excellent.

 

Has everyone had catfish before?

 

A ton of times

It's an easy food to mess up but I like it

 

I like it too. Just asking bc lots of people won't eat it bc it's a "mud fish".

 

That's true haha, especially people not in the south/southeast.

 

Catfish is pretty much the default fish in the south. It was the only fish we really ate growing up

 

I don't eat it when it's boneless bc if it has no bones what in the hell is keeping it in the shape of a fish?

 

That argument is hilarious because I've heard girls complain about eating chicken wings BECAUSE of the bone. To each their own, ya like what ya like.

 

no I've never been duped into falling in love with someone

oh the food, yeah

 

which one?

 

I don't think I've ever seen catfish that wasn't deboned and fried. except you know when it's alive

 

Both!

 

haha, I figured.
I got both recipes from a keto mailing list.
Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole-
layers of chicken, diced ham, and swiss cheese, topped with a heavy cream sauce and an almond meal/parmesan crust on top.

Shepherd's Pie
Beef browned w/ chopped leek & carrot, some rosemary and thyme thrown in, too. topped with chopped up cauliflower mixed with cream, butter, and parmesan. this one was cooked all in one cast iron pan. brown the beef and cook the veggies on the stovetop, add the topping and throw in the oven.

 

I'm looking for something new to eat that's low carb, low cal (300 or lower), and smaller portioned for dinner. Something easy, if possible. I can eat 3-4oz of meat with some sauce, so it's always tough to make real food while living alone.

Debating on something salmon, pork chop, chicken... I'm just bored with deli meat and eggs. :/

 

pork chop is always the answer, I don't count calories that closely so I have no clue how to prepare it

 

I usually just saute with seasonings. I'm okay with that for sure, but it's nothing terribly new. I just don't do it super often. *shrug*

 

I know you eat some kind of bars that you get tired of, have you ever tried these?

They're vegan. It's like eating a fruity cake. I'm obsessed with them.
