Hairies Fish n Chips.

[hairymick]

G'day guys.

This is the way I like to prepare and cook most of the fish i catch round here.

First, I fillet my bream. These are a bread and butter type fish here. Game little fighters that inhabit all of our coast line in one sub - species or another.

Next, to remove rib bones (I hate bones in my fillets.

Skin fillet.

Remove Pin bones. these are a line of small bones extending from the spine, out to the skin.

Will have to do several posts on this one.

Once home, prepare the chips. i think you guys call em fries.

Cut spuds into chips.

Liberally season chips with Zatarains. (Thanks Keith, I owe you big time mate.)

Nuke chips for about 5 minutes.

break two eggs into a bowl & add a little milk.

 

[hairymick]

Lightly coat fillets in plain flour, again liberally seasoned with Zatarains.

Dip in egg/milk mix and then cover with bread crumbs.

Have small dog standing by to pounce on anything dropped.

Give left-over milk/egg mix to said dog as reward for cleaning the floor.

All fillets crumbed

While the oil in the deep frier is getting hot, wander out the back, & pick a lemon

or a lime

Par fry the chips till they are just cooked and remove from the fat.

Most important, have adequate refreshments on hand. 8)

 

[hairymick]

Gently place fillets into fat adding a handfull of par-fried chips.

Careful not to overload fryer - absorbs too much fat into the food. Cook till golden brown.

all done!

dinner !

Mick, glad you like the Zatarains, it's one of the favorites here. Next time I'll send the gallon size.

Hell, maybe I'll pack it in my luggage and hand-deliver it. Those fish look really good.

Got the lemon part down.
Now just gotta get a small dog, and start drinking beer. :lol:

Looks yummy.
Do you use the malt vinegar on your "chips", or is that too British?
