A Deep Fish Fryer and California Rock Cod Combine to Make a Delicious Meal

blogger

One of my favorite fishing trips is to the north coast of California for rock cod, and one of my favorite ways to prepare it is with a deep fish fryer. The problem is you have to catch it before you can cook it, and thats why I like fishing for rock cod. If you can get your boat in the water, and you know where the reef is, you are going to catch fish. Its just that simple. And a fresh catch along with a deep fish fryer, combine to make a delicious meal.

After all, one of the reasons we fish is to put food on the table. After spending a day on the water, and the time and effort to clean and prep your catch, a tasty meal of deep fried rock cod is a nice reward.

When selecting your deep fryer, the first choice you have to make is, electric or gas. If you’re like me and do a lot of outdoor cooking with no electricity available, your only choice is a propane burner. My favorite is the Bayou Classic fish cookers. They are well built, portable propane burners, and easy to use.

To prepare your rock cod for the deep fryer you will want to fillet them. You will have to cut out the rib cage and check for any other bones you may have missed. Then cut your fillets into 2″ strips. Keeping your pieces of fish approximately the same size, helps ensure that all are properly cooked.

Next, you need to coat your fish. You can use a batter or coat it with egg and breadcrumbs. I generally prefer a beer batter, but, it comes down to personal preference. Just make sure you do coat it. This helps keep the oil out and the moisture in.

Make sure you use a vegetable oil with a high smoking point. I generally use peanut oil, but canola oil or soybean oil will work as well. You need to pre-heat the oil to 350-375 degrees F. You don’t want it to fall much under 350 degrees , or the oil will soak through the batter making the fish taste greasy.

When cooked at the proper temperature, your batter will be a crispy golden brown and the cod will be moist and delicious. So, make sure you have a quality thermometer with your deep fish fryer. If not, you can drop a small piece of bread in the hot oil, if it turns golden brown within 45-60 seconds, the oil temperature is fine.Don’t overload your fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature. Just fry 3 to 6 pieces of fish at a time, depending on the size of your fryer.

And now, it’s time to eat, and there are a variety of tasty ways to consume your deep fried rock cod. It tastes great all by itself, or dip it in your favorite sauce. One of my all time favorites is fish tacos. Whether you like a crispy shell or a soft shell, deep fried cod fits very well in either, and makes for a delicious meal.

So, if you like catching fish, give California rock cod a try. Just remember, you need to know where the reefs are, so make sure you get some local knowledge. Oh yea, and don’t forget your deep fish fryer.

You Wont Believe This Easy, Simple Method for Cooking Sauce

blogger

One of the most difficult things for a cook at home to make is a flavorful sauce. A great sauce will cover some of the worst cooking mistakes, enhance most of the best cooking successes and make you appear to be a home cooking genius.

Cooking a sauce means adding flavor, texture, and appearance to your home cooking dishes. A sauce or gravy is made of three simple ingredients: liquid, thickener, and flavorings. When you need easy cooking ideas for cooking sauces at home, you need only think of these three things.

Liquid for Your Sauce

If youre making a chicken dish, youll probably want to add something like chicken broth. If youre making a tropical dish, you might add a fruit juice or add soy sauce to an Asian dish. Add the liquid that makes sense for the protein that youve cooked and once youre comfortable making sauces, be open to experimenting with new and different flavor combinations. Next, you will need to be able to thicken your liquid so that it sticks to your food for some great home cooking.

Thickener for Your Sauce

A sauce needs to be thick enough to cling to food and not wind up as a puddle on the bottom of the plate. The easiest way to thicken a liquid is with a cornstarch slurry. This is the same method that most of our grandmothers used to make gravy from the pan drippings of the holiday turkey. When you dissolve cornstarch in a cold liquid, then add it to a hot liquid (your sauce), it will gelatinize, and thicken the sauce.

While slurry is the easiest way to cooking sauce success, roux is the most widely used and most flavorful because of the fat needed to separate starch molecules. If youve ever noticed lumps in your gravy, its because groups of starch molecules have stuck together and only thickened on the outside of the group. Butter, oil, or solid fats in a roux help to “line up” the starch molecules for the introduction of hot liquid and their opportunity to individually absorb the liquid and swell, this thickening the sauce.

Flavoring for Your Sauce

The liquid that you used to create your sauce may give you enough of a flavor profile that you dont need to add any additional flavors. However, if there isnt enough flavor, add some! You could add garlic, onions, ginger or any number of different ingredients while you are cooking your sauce to help to liven up your home cooking.

No matter what the liquid, thickening agent or flavor profile you choose, you can find that cooking sauce is a skill youll enjoy and will lead to more easy cooking ideas without recipes. Before you know it, everyone will be begging you to have them over to your house for some great home cooking.

How to Cook Fantastical Pork Ribs-00-943

blogger

There are several keys to remember when preparing barbecue pork spare ribs.

Key one to making actual professional bbq smoked taste : quality of the spare ribs. Spend the extra time or money on a good pack of spare ribs. Do not buy prepackaged spare ribs because you will be surely unsuccessful with the resulting product. Request fresh butcher cut spare ribs. If you must go with prepackaged meat, then make sure to look at the date on the label. The prime key to making actual professional bbq smoked taste is in two chief things: the quality of the spare ribs and the way of preparation. Also place the spare ribs as far away from the burning wood as possible because you want to slowly smoke the spare ribs instead of charring them. This is the single most important to making
actual expert rib smoker smoked taste.

Next, the prime key to making actual professional bbq smoked taste is in the preparation method. Be sure to removing the spare ribs membrane that is on the back side of the meat. Do not put too much seasoning as you do not want to drown out the taste of the spare ribs. Let the rub cure into the meat for at least 18 hours prior to cooking them. Also soak the wood prior to smoking the meat. This will ensure the wood to only burn slowly, while still producing plenty smoke.

Also place the spare ribs as far away from the burning wood as possible because you want to slowly smoke the spare ribs instead of charring them. This is the single most important to making
actual expert rib smoker smoked taste. And most of the barbecue
competitive folks will tell you this. The spare ribs must be made very slowly in order to make the
ideal amount of tenderness.

Use quality equipment too. For charcoal smokers, you will really need to make sure that it has proper air valves so that you can vary the amount of air that feeds the fire power. Also, make sure that the equipment of your water smoker or whatever you use to smoke ribs, has readily adjustable parts. Make sure that the water smoker or whatever you use to smoke ribs is made of metal, and not wood or pliable metals. Wood will lose adhesion and burn and cheaply made screws will also warp and break over time. Your water smoker or whatever you use to smoke ribs will be outdoors and will need to be tough.

Also, remember to use genuine wood when cooking
ribs or whatever you are cooking. Do not substitute liquid smoke for the real taste of real wood. Smoke the pork ribs for at least 6 hours. There are more chef’s tips to grilling pork ribs at our smoked ribs home site, including how we produce the ideal of moistness at our bbq cookouts.
