Pre-cooking fish
« on: July 18, 2014, 06:16 PM »
Scallops, prawns, cod, smoked cod, and salmon (basically one of them fish pie boxes), slow cooked in gravy, touch of black / white pepper, lemon, coriander, smidgin of mix. It's looking slightly bilious atm, excuse being phone is knackered and switches OFF if I use the flash. So I don't.

No idea what's going to happen to it eventually- We're through the looking glass, people! ;) :)

PS- all suggestions welcome as ever! Cheers. Happy Friday!

I've just realised that I gave the thread a crap title- the confusion has come about because if this was a curry it should be slung on the wall. Dead right. But I meant, the fish was pre-cooked in those ingredients, this IS only the precooked fish, and advice about the curry ITSELF (i.e., later) was welcome (from people who actuallty eat fish of course :p ;) ). See what I mean? That's why it looks bilious (at the mo, anyway)!

Emergency destruction of good gear averted- right, carry on. :)

Yes, think of it as a pre-cook.  Make a few shashliks or/and a karahi, for example. No problem.

Whilst being aware of the intent of the original post (it was obvious that it wasn't a finished dish in the post) I would still bin it.

You didn't stipulate that only fish-eaters should reply either; 'all suggestions welcome' I think was the phrase used, and suggestions were offered but obviously not welcomed :P

Err I don't think of it as a pre-cook. It is a pre-cook! Reckon it'll become a fish madras. Chilli = cancelling out all that 'orrible fishiness  :D

Hi DO
Knock it up with some Red chillie, coriander, lime, and lemon grass then finish it of with some spring onion.
Can't go wrong with fish and Thai food 8) and a little coconut milk.
But you could well be screwed here ;D :0)
