Hi everyone
Been having some success with decent sized bass recently - anyway, I thought a nice thread on some good bass recipes would go down well.
What are your favourite recipes ?
Do you cook different sized bass in different ways ?
For example - if the bass is below 3 pounds I bake it in foil with herbs and lemon and olive oil. I find it too fiddly to fillet.
If the bass is above 5 pounds I fillet it and grill it (lightly score the skin, grill skin side up with butter on it, put water in the grill pan to steam the undersides, sometimes with a few rounds of ginger sliced and placed on the underside - I dont turn it but allow the bottom to steam and the top to grill - weird but it works)
If the bass is above 10 pounds ... I just get really excited and have to calm myself down before even thinking about sharp knives and kitchens and stuff !
Hope this is interesting - cheers - Ed
