Good looking fish. I like the cutting board and head chop sound. 😮

Thanks Roger. Great tutorial. I just caught a nice pollak yesterday and I was going to Panko crispy fry it but now I'm thinking miso glase with a torch to finish. I have caught and eaten many spaniards down in the Keys - delicious. Would be great to see them in more numbers up in Jersey. There are so many people who think they clean up and taste like the typical boston or king macks but they are so different. Thanks again. Keep it up.

They are definitely in their own category. Beware that some fish esp after freezing (pollack for instance) will weep so much water during roasting that it'll wash the glaze off. I would pre-salt a piece of that fillet and let it firm up in paper towels before trying this recipe.

We caught a whole bunch at OBX. I had my first spanish mack. Vinegar pickled like Japanese Mack. It was good. But I think you have to peel the skin off. Definitely great tasting fish.

Out here in the NE the only way I can get Spanish mackerel is frozen at the local Asian supermarket. Do you think it's worth trying this recipe on that (I'm going to try it on other fish I catch around here) or do I really need fresh fish?

This recipe will work on any thin-ish fillet...the classic miso glaze was done with salmon. I would say wait a few months and you might find some Spaniards in your hood lol...in the meantime, any fish will do!

Great job! I get spanish all the time from HMart. They're really good but not bled out. I butterfly and grill at high temp w/s&p, a little lime, that's it. Very forgiving fish to cook. I want to get some on the beach so I can properly prep and enjoy their full potential as you have! Did ShoreMoney get him on metal?

Can you recommend a good filet knife? I just tossed my Walmart one in the garbage couldn’t even cut through my fluke this weekend lol

@CookingandFishing

Well, you have to be able to keep any fillet knife sharp with a honing steel or stone. Letting it get dull to the point of no return = garbage, or a lot more work on coarse stones to bring back the edge. Personally, for most fillet jobs I like the cheap rapala fillet knife: ebay.to/2Yx7AEB It's got a nice belly and curve to the blade, and I'm used to it.

Looks great. Think that glaze would work well with cocktail size blues?

@CookingandFishing

5 жыл бұрын

100%, the only thing is blues will weep more moisture and can wash off the glaze. I would "quick cure" the fillets with a little salt, wrapped in paper towel/foil, and let it firm up in the fridge for 2 - 6 hours. Then it'll be nice and dry during the roasting process. Go for a slightly thicker consistency on the glaze, and really blast that oven temperature. Good luck!

Why gut and head before filleting, especially with Spanish hold the head and find the backbone with your knife and lop the side off

@CookingandFishing

3 жыл бұрын

It's a cleaner process but either way works if you're cooking it. Head/scaled and gutted is standard for raw preps so you're not swiping through guts/scales and having to wash off fillets.

Climate change or simply a variation in seasons?

Another possibility is that the earth's temperature will rise because of the increasing populations of many species including humans. Bottom line is that you and I will never know and the earth will exist long after we die.

Climate change.. Ya ok. 😂😂 And what’s the point of taking the head off and removing the guts and blood line when you are just gonna filet it?? Just filet it man.. Extra work unless you save the heads and gut for something.. Even then it’s all one piece. My useless opinion.

Haha it's bc I didn't want to rinse the fillets in water after removing it from the rack. Removing the head makes filleting easier...anyway, it's how the Japanese do it. Yes, more work...but the end result is cleaner and firmer fillets. When I do fillet whole, I'll rinse off blood/guts etc in salt water.
