I like fish, they are pretty and they are tasty. Hence this weeks' fishy Sunday Five.
1: Have you ever caught a fish?
2: Have you ever cleaned a fish?
3: Have you ever been served a whole fish (head and all?)
4: When ordering fish in a restaurant, fried, broiled, or baked?
5: Do you often cook fish at home?
My Answers:
1: Have you ever caught a fish? When I was a kid, a long - long time ago.
2: Have you ever cleaned a fish? The policy was, you catch it, you clean it, someone showed me how to do the first one and I was on my own from there.
3: Have you ever been served a whole fish (head and all?) Yes, I can filet that out in about two minutes.
4: When ordering fish in a restaurant, fried, broiled, or baked? Yes, any of the above. Mostly broiled, baked or steamed anymore.
5: Do you often cook fish at home? I try to do fish once or twice a month.
1. Yes, but only once. It scared me to death to feel it fighting me on the line and I felt bad about killing it, even if it was delicious later. It was a pickerel.
ReplyDelete2. No.
3. No, but My Rare One was served a whole fish once in England when she ordered fish 'n chips in Boscastle. It was not what we were expecting. But she ate it and enjoyed it.
4. I prefer pan fried but other methods are good too, depending on the fish.
5. No, I don't cook it at home. If I want fish, I go out to a restaurant.
We live in a condo, we can tell when the next door neighbor cooks fish
Delete1. Yes. A small one, with a safety pin and corn kernel.
ReplyDelete2. Yes. Growing up my father loved fish. He taught us to clean them.
3. Yes. Same father would cook the whole stinkin' thing!
4. I don't order fish unless it's shrimp or scallops, grilled or sautéed.
5. Just shrimp based stuff, like stir fry or Alfredo. An occasional tuna casserole and of course fish sticks :)
I love shrimp and scallops
Delete1: no
ReplyDelete2: no
3: no
4: depends on the fish; clams are always fried, salmon/mahi mahi/bluefish/scallops/shrimp grilled, haddock/flounder baked, crab imperial broiled. then there's lobster bisque soup. I LOVE FISH!
5: usually 1x/week
I need to learn to make fish based soups
Delete1: Have you ever caught a fish? Yes. Striped bass. In the Atlantic off Brooklyn.
ReplyDelete2: Have you ever cleaned a fish? Never
3: Have you ever been served a whole fish (head and all?) Yes. Usually a horror! Small ones I can to,erase. But I actually now ask servers if the fish will be looking at me.
4: When ordering fish in a restaurant, fried, broiled, or baked? Usually broiled. Rarely fried, except for anchovies in lemon.
5: Do you often cook fish at home? I don’t cook. Jerry used to bbq fresh fish several times a week at our house on the Long Island Sound in Connecticut. He hasn’t cooked fish since we moved to Spain. Keeps planning to learn about the fish here that are new to us.
Is there a fish market nearby?
DeleteSeveral! And before there were tourists, this was a fishing villages. We watch boats go out every evening and come back every morning. So much fresh seafood. Sea bream, Dorada, Hake, Monkfish, Sole, local mussels and all kinds of shellfish. We have no excuse.
Delete1. Twice, many years ago. One of them was a tailor and the other wasn't.
ReplyDelete2 Eww, are you crazy?
3. Yes, in a restaurant
4. Broiled is grilled, right, as in cooked under a grill? All three.

DeleteIt was good, with a wedge salad
DeleteI was reading the comments over and started laughing. I'm the only one here, it seems, who loathes fish, and yet I'm the only one who's cleaned them :)
ReplyDeleteSounds right, I was thinking we should hold a class on how to clean a fish
