Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
About 3 months ago I tried to get my monthly grocery bill down, which I found hard to do eating a lot of fish. Last week I picked up a 1# pack of frozen Alaskan Pollock.(Brand Farm Fresh, which I think is IGA house brand) I don't remember exactly, but I think it was less than $3.
I didn't really know how to deal with frozen fish, and there may be better ways, but I just had a really delicious easy meal.
Saute:
1 celery stalk
1 medium onion
2-3 large garlic cloves
1 julienned carrot
When clear, add chunks of fish. I didn't have time to thaw it, so I just used a cleaver to cut it in chunks. I transferred it to a heavy pot, added a bit of water and probably a short cup of crushed tomatoes from Trader Joe. A little more water to be sure it stays covered. Added some more olive oil cause this fish is really lean. Salt, ground pepper and whole papper corns, and a pre-mix herbal mixture from Costco called Italian Seasoning. It's a bit of everything, but heavy on oregano. It also contains some sage, thyme, marjoram, coriander, bay leaf, etc.
I stuck it in the oven at 300 for 30', stirred it, and since it was not yet bubbling gave it another 10'.
When I started eating it I realized it needed more salt, so I added a bit.
With a glass of Yellowtail Cabernet, it was sublime.
With more time, it might be best to make everything but the fish, and add some potato. When the potato is done, add the thawed fish chunks and simmer for no more than 10 minutes or so.
I guarantee you 'll be satisfied!
