Chinese usually cook this type of fish through steaming it with tangerine skin. This recipe I have also previously posted. This time instead of steaming, the mottled spinefoot is fried, then simply seasoned with the popular Japanese shimichi regularly used in Yakitori and lastly with a bit of lemon juice. Kind of fusion, but it works! ?
講起童年回憶中的泥鯭,都是拿著一排魚絲在淺水的河邊(或明渠邊)可以釣到,非常粗生常見,家傳戶曉都用陳皮蒸泥鯭,而水上人則喜愛吃原味,放油鹽水煮再配點榨菜,相當鹹鮮。
深水泥鯭 大條多肉
今時今日,想吃泥鯭其實可以直接買「深水泥鯭」,來自西沙海域或東沙群島,價錢也比舊時貴一點了,肉質一樣好,我把魚肚洗乾淨,加點薑絲僻腥香煎,吃的時候灑上七味粉和檸檬汁,做法簡單,已經好好味了!
Method:
- Clean the mottled spinefoot with salt thoroughly and rinse with tap water.
- Pat dry with paper towels and cut the surface of the fish using a sharp knife.
- In a frying pan, heat up some oil, add a few streaks of ginger and start frying the fish.
- Fry until both sides of the fish become golden brown, then plate nicely.
- Sprinkle some Japanese #shichimi #七味粉 and salt on top and serve. A twist of lemon ? juice would also enhance the flavour immensely!
Tips
•PS Cutting of the skin is important otherwise when it cooks the skin will shrink, contract and crack
