Title: Pre-cooking fish
Post by: Onions 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'd bin it mate :(  No offence intended  :)

........unless there are any homeless people near you.....then again they would probably give you the same advice.

Sorry, I don't do fish - except mussels :)

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)

Garp... the original post still says that: nothing has been stipulated. This is not East Germany, after all. I just don't personally see the point in commenting on a particular food if you don't eat the thing; it kind of stops any discussion before its started, that's all.
You don't like fish, so you would bin it. Fair enough.

OK, think of it as a marinade, which was inadvertently left on the hob.  I'd still go karahi, trad.  Very red and hot.  Red-hot even.  ;)

Another option would be Adey's Tuna Bora.  That would also be very tasty.

Good to see peeps having a go at stuff.

I think you'll find there is no such country as East Germany, my friend.

Perhaps if you have objections to people replying to your posts, you should:

a) make your posts clearer
b) post on CA's forum
c) stop posting

Of course I don't object, my friend.
But I assume I am allowed the right to reply?
Good.

Scallops, prawns, cod, smoked cod, and salmon

What a good idea. How did it turn out? Prawns are normally pre-cooked and, even if raw, need only about 3 minutes simmering in liquid. Scallops need watching, too, to avoid over-cooking. Cod and salmon probably take longer. I don't know why anyone would suggest binning it. I see little correlation between image quality and what something actually tastes like.

Good.

Of course you are allowed the right to reply my friend, as am I and as are the people of the non-existent state of East Germany.

It would be nice to see more of your curries and less of your Daily Mail opinions :)

I don't do prawns but love all fish. I would not have done a pre cook with fish stuffs. It only takes a few mins to cook any how so youhave a sure danger of it being chewy :(

If I was doing fish/prawns though I would do extra hot chilli and lots of lime juice with some nice crispythin sliced veg. A bit Jalfrezi style but with a nice light sauce :)

What are you going to do.....have you decided?

I would just make up a portion of my favourite sauce and dump the seafood in to warm through and scoff the lot with a couple of naans.

Although saying that with the smoked fish in I would just make a fish pie with a good helping of peas in.

Another idea.  Mince/mix for fish pakora.  Top quality.
