Ling/rock cod recipies

With all of the cod talk lately, I've been wondering how you prepare these beasts from the deep. Fillet and grill, fillet, batter and fry, bake whole like trout??

Fillet and grill, fillet, batter and fry, bake whole like trout

Yep.

I'd say 80% of my rockfish ends up filleted and fried.  About 10% gets the chinese style whole fish steam treatment, and another 10% gets filleted  and baked with some vegatables, olive oil and light seasoning.

100% fillet. I don't like skin.

fried(deep and pan)
BBQ'd
Baked
Broiled
smoked

what can you think of? It's good so many ways.

I resolve to use as much of the fish as I possibly can.  After my recent trip, I made a nice broth of the heads and bones post filleting.  I broiled up some nice lingcod and rockfish collar, ok I fried one too.   The remaining filets are served in many ways including, panko fried, broiled, foil pouch poached, steamed, ...

I love Allen's Panko fried recipe. Dip fillets in a watered down batter, then roll in Panko bread crumbs. Either pan fry or deep fry. If you have left overs (not very likely) just heat them in the toaster oven, and they are as good as fresh fried. I made a fish sandwich out of leftover ling cod from last night. It doesn't get any better! A little pepper on the fillet before breading adds a bit of goodness!

My Rasta buddy showed me how to poach rockfish with Jamaican jerk spices, onion, garlic, peppercorns and stewed tomatoes.  Words can't possibly do this dish justice.

 The Blacky I caught last week found its way into a simple fish taco dish where the fillets were soaked in salsa then cooked in the oven for about 8 minutes. Added some pepper jack cheese the last minute in the oven then placed in a hard shell with some lettuce. Fast, simple and GREAT!

I'm no cook, but i play one in my kitchen... Just et some of the best lingcod i have ever cooked. Super easy, too.

My parents own The Bandon Fish market. It was rated # 1 fish and chips on the Oregon coast! There recipe is top secret but I Can say they use a wet batter then A dry batter. Maybe they will give it to me and could share it with a select few!!!

Is that the little red "rail car" kind of place right near the dock area?  If so, we went through there many years ago and I still remember that place.  So does my wife.  Nothing special other than just the best fish and chips you ever ate.  Worth a stop even if you arn't hungry.

Hey Southcoast Paddler,

Is this the same place?  We gotta know.  It really was THAT GOOD.

No its not the same place. There is no little red rail car in "Bandon Oregon". This is a little blue building on the board walk harbor area. Which place r u talking about? I would love to try it..

It may be gone.  Set up almost right on the dock, with a couple of picnic tables outside to sit at.  A real small, Mom and Pop kinda place.  Our kids didn't want any fish until they saw and tried ours.  Ended up ordering more.

This looks freaking good!  Mouth is watering already! 

Here's a link to the recipe.

I'm with polepole on using the whole fish, but I'm listening. Except for eel, we usually barbecue the fish whole with alder, vine maple, oak, or apple wood. This method also great for fish tacos. Also sometimes do Korean style spicy fish soup. Use whole fish gutted, scaled, chopped into thirds, dropped in the pot.
