If you're going to do summat with an Asian style glaze then do not serve it with an Irish style mash/accompaniment, best to serve with rice.

Why?

People get too hung up with rules when it comes to cooking, why not colour outside the lines every so often and try something new and this is an excellent combination, which I have tired several times to much approval.

Or you can give the mash an asian tinge with a bit of chilli and coriander.

Whatever floats yer boat.

Though if I saw that on a menu at a resturant it would be a clear indication the chef has mixed ideas and possibly not much of a clue about food.

But hey, I'm a fussy biatch

Whitebait:
Buy as many tiny fish as you think you can eat (the tinier the better), dip them in seasoned flour and fry them. You can also chuck in some squid rings for variety.

I'd go with Tuna Fillets instead of the Sea Bass, chargrilled and served with a chilli corander and lime dressing on a warm noodle salad.

Morning all,

I'm looking for ideas for an impressive, delicious Fish based main course recipe for this evening, any favourite recipes you care to share?

And while I'm asking, I'm terrible at deserts which usually revolve around homemade ice cream or choc mousse, any other ideas?

Thanks in advance and apologies if this thread causes hunger.

Large fresh lobster, boiled and halved, slice of lemon, slice of lime and a little black pepper. Wash down with some Muscadet. No further enhancements necessary.

Not many BA's here then.

First question who is the meal for? That should clarify what recipes we look for but some of the one seen look gorgeous.

Are we hoping to get a folllow up after dessert in which case light and sophisticated.

Is it the lads for footy? Something to soak up the beer

etc...
