MarsOne 137 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi all,Got put onto this by Lord Blackbilly - and its a winner. Just tried it tonight - taking small redfin, scaling them, head off and frying them whole, then eating off the bone.Comes up a treat - probably better than fillets IMO. I cooked half a dozen fish around 20-25cm.Give away the big ones and eat the bubs I reckon :silly: So instead of throwing away the small ones, give it a crack next time.

tonyb 1,017 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 That's strange, all my small reddys always fall back in the water accidentally :S Gimme a kilo fillet any day :woohoo: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BarneyB 1,939 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 The smaller ones are also good prepared the same way then wrapped in alfoil with some butter / oil and your choice of seasoning, BBQ campfire or oven, all work well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Del 245 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 i do this with leather jackets, and also many other smaller fish. flounder etc is always good when lightly fried like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Total killer I reckon - I just did them with S+P and lemon. Paprika next time. Not like small reddies are in any great shortage either. With a knife they are scaleable, not the easiest fish to do but it works, made a hell of a mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tonyb 1,017 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 yep, I fiddle about with my reddy catch for hours, but it's all worth while when I see those beaut li'l pinkish, boneless and skinless fillets neatly piled on the plate :woohoo: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
