OT. Cooking fish.

[Nibble]

I have some frozen white pollock fillets, can you cook them, let them cool, put in with rice and eat it cold later or will this be disgusting/make me dead?

Thank you.

Won't be brilliant. You're better off letting them defrost and then cooking them with a sauce and adding to rice. Pollock is fairly bland, so best matched with a sauce - certainly not a good fish to eat cold.

I would put them in tin foil in the oven with butter lemon and pepper and have them with crusty bread and butter but then I am not a rice man.

Or make a parsley sauce with mashed potato and peas in my case mushy.

 

[Nibble]

Both very good suggestions, okay, cold is out then. Bought them cheap as you like a month ago but need to defrost freezer today so want to eat it up.
Thanks people. I'll try a couple of ways, there's a lot of it!

No. You'd let your wife do that

Kills me every time! Cheers for the perfect foil to post it.

Never mind the pollocks, here's the six post eels:

And yes, yes I will be disappointed with that effort

As tinycowboy says, defrost them. If you want to serve them with rice, this recipe always works for me:

You can do this with most white fish, including pollock.

Give them to the cat & buy some decent tasting fish. Just because it's sustainable DOES NOT mean it's worth eating

Fresh I would tear it as disappointing cod (disappointing cod is often Pollock).
Frozen I would fry some onions until caramelising add fresh chilli garlic ginger and some turmeric and cumin, then throw in tinned tomatoes and reduce then dice up the fish and simmer until cooked for a tasty fish curry.

Fantastic!

Did you buy it in Iceland? either fish cakes of a fish curry, that stuff is not fit for anything else other than catfood.

 

[vegster]

I would have defrosted them then poached them lightly and let them cool then make up fish cakes. Alaskan Pollock is a bit bland though.

You are correct she wont let me in the kitchen cos it means too much washing up and cleaning afterwards.

Cut into fingers and double coated in egg and bread crumbs.

Firstly season with a little salt and WHITE pepper.

Deep fried in rapeseed oil then sprinkled with sea salt, finely chopped ENGLISH parsley and the zest of a lemon.

It's the ONLY way to cook meaty white fish.

You could cook and clean?
