Dorado El Dorado

This low-fat dish is brilliantly colored and bursting with the assertive flavors of Baja, Mexico. The fish is a great fighter with firm, slightly sweet and moist flesh. The skin should be removed before cooking.

Fish Cakes

If you like crab cakes, you’ll love these fish cakes. This recipe works great with any kind of fish or a combination of fish, but I prefer those varieties, which are flaky rather than firm. Striped bass, panfish, catfish and lingcod fillets are exceptional when formed into cakes. It is important to shred the fish…

Fish in Parchment Paper

If you don’t have any parchment paper, have no fear. Just make a “tent” out of foil. I like to use this recipe with a small mound of panfish fillets. When you get the fish to the table, give it a slice across the top and expose the herbal aromas. It’s good. You’ll need a…

Fish with Green Chile Vinaigrette

But we do on the show Dead Meat. You can watch Dead Meat on MyOutdoorTV, or Sportsman Channel or Outdoor Channel.…

Ceviche

It’s not really cooked in the traditional sense, but then it’s not sashimi either. The acidic lime juice actually “cooks” the fish, shrimp and scallops. Serve in a glass bowl, or get really fancy and serve inside a melon or other large fruit.

Fish and Shrimp Ceviche

Great with just about any type of fish, shrimp and/or scallops. Stuff it inside a flour tortilla with some creamy coleslaw or add some avocado and tomato for a refreshing dip. Ceviche also makes a perfect first-course appetizer. Do make certain that the fish is either fresh or was properly frozen and thawed. Nothing worse…
