lake trout recipe

Fresh from the lake into the frying pan -This is a moist and delicious trout recipe.

The fishing was good here on Keweenaw Bay this week, producing a nice Lake Trout catch, so I decided to post this Pan Fried Lake Trout recipe. This fish coating browns nicely, has a nice crunch, and complements the fish flavor very well.

This recipe works well for either Lake Trout or Salmon.

If you want a little bit of a change from your regular fish coating recipe give this one a try. Enjoy

panfish recipe

For whatever the reason, it has been another really good fishing year for me here in upper Michigan. The pan fish have been biting really well and each trip has produced a good number of fish. This has given me the chance to try a number of fish coating recipes. I think this Cajun Fried Pan fish Fillets Recipe is one of the better ones. The combination of seasoning is just right, and doesn’t over power the taste of the fish.
For this recipe I used crappie fillets, but perch, or bluegills, will work just as well. This is a simple and quick recipe to put together, and doesn’t require a lot of prep time. I deep fried the fish with oil in a cast iron pan but you could also use a deep fryer.
The next time you have some pan fish on hand give this Cajun Fried Pan fish Fillets Recipe a try; it’s really good.

fishveracruzrecipe

In an attempt to keep things on the healthy side I decided to put this Fish Veracruz Recipe on the supper menu for Friday. This recipe is high on protein and low on saturated fat.

This recipe surprised me; it was a lot better tasting then I thought it was going to be. I used mild salsa in this recipe because I though the spicier salsa would over power the fish. For the fish I decided to use Tilapia, because of its mild flavor and usually low price, which worked out really well. Most of the seasoning for the recipe comes from the salsa which will have a major impact on how the dish is seasoned. (I used Chi Chi mild chunky style salsa) Use your favorite brand of chunky style salsa, and it should work out fine. The salsa also goes real good over baked potatoes which make an ideal side to serve with this dish. I listed the lime slices and cilantro as optional because my wife and I thought the dish was really good without these 2 ingredients that are added at the end of the recipe.

If you are looking for a health conscious dish to put on the supper table give this Fish Veracruz Recipe a try; it’s really good. Enjoy

curncy deep fried fish recipe

It seems like coming up with new recipes for lent can be a challenge. The market I usually shop at was running cod fillets on sale so I decided to put this Crunchy Deep-fried Fish Recipe on the menu.

The fish has a nice crunch to it and is spiced up really well. My wife thought it was a little too hot, but I thought it was just right. You can control the heat by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper you use in the coating. If you don’t have a deep fryer, heat the oil in a Dutch oven.

Deep Fried Parmesan Fish with Lemon Sauce

freshfish recipe

Fishing has been really good this summer here in upper Michigan, which has encouraged me to have fish on the menu at least once a week for supper. One of my favorite deep fried fish recipes is for Deep Fried Parmesan fish. This recipe creates a nice coating with a little bit of heat created by using the cayenne pepper which you can adjust easily to taste. When I first tried this recipe, my son, who owns Blogchef.net, prepared it to post on his Blog. My first thought was that the Parmesan cheese would overwhelm the recipe; it did not, and the end result was a delicious fish fry.      

For fish I used Crappies in this recipe because that is what we caught on the last fishing trip, but any kind of white fish would work out fine – needless to say the fresher the better.

I think it’s hard to beat Shore Lunch for a fresh fish coating, but my wife likes this Deep Fried Parmesan fish every bit as well, and according to her, maybe even better.

smallmout bass recipe

Lake Superior still has ice chunks floating in it, but the inland lakes are starting to warm up. Bass season opened this past weekend so when temps hit the high 80’s on Memorial Day I decided to give it a try; the fishing was spectacular.

I always look forward to the 1st fresh fish fry of the season, because it’s hard to beat the taste of fresh caught fish, especially when the water is still on the cold side.

This Smallmouth Bass Recipe is a simple pan-fried fish recipe that is simple and good. Serve the fish with fries and your favorite vegetable – it doesn’t get much better. Enjoy

Shrimp and Bacon Pizza Recipe

 Bacon seems to go good in almost anything and this Shrimp and Bacon Pizza is no exception. I took a short cut with this one and used store bought refrigerated pizza dough. This is not your traditional style of pizza with the pizza sauce, which did make me a little uneasy while preparing it. For some reason omitting the sauce just didn’t seem right – but don’t let this fool you, this Shrimp and Bacon Pizza has a delicious combination of flavors and is real simple to put together. The next time you put pizza on the supper menu give this Shrimp and Bacon Pizza Recipe a try; it’s delicious. Adapted From Cooks Country Magazine

Greek Style Baked Fish Recipe

Greek Style Baked Fish RecipeFat Tuesday today, Ash Wednesday this Wednesday the 13th, and with an early Easter this year Lent is here already. This should be a sign the winter is going by fast, but for me, it is not. I can’t wait to get this winter over with. My heart goes out to the people in the North East. How bad can it get? They started the year recovering from Hurricane Sandy and are now in the process of recovering from a record snow storm. I wish them the best and hope things come around for them for the rest of 2013.

This Greek Style Baked Fish Recipe caught my eye because it was a little different then the baked fish recipes I usually make. Instead of the fish fillets being rolled, or dipped in bread crumbs they are laid on them, and then more breadcrumbs are sprinkled over the top after the sauce and spices have been spooned over the fillets. When you look at the cooking time for this recipe you might think 40 minutes is a long time for fish; but it is not. Let the fish cook until the breadcrumbs brown nicely, and it should be perfect. This Greek Style Baked Fish Recipe is a simple recipe that doesn’t require much prep time and we really enjoyed it. If you’re looking for a good fish recipe to kick of the Easter season give this one a try. Enjoy.

  4. In a medium size bowl mix together ½ cup olive oil, tomato sauce, parsley, wine, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Spoon the mixture evenly over the fillets and top with the remaining bread crumbs.

Deep Fried Tilapia Recipe

Deep Fried Tilapia Recipe

We have had a mild start to the winter here in Upper Michigan and the bay refuses to freeze, and because of the warmer weather, the inland lakes are even questionable. As a result I didn’t have much in the line of fresh fish on hand so I decided to give this Deep Fried Tilapia Recipe a try.

I really like pan fish, and for me, Tilapia is about the closest you can get in store bought fish to pan fish. It is probably not quite as healthy as Salmon, but there is absolutely no fishy taste.

This is a basic recipe that coats the fish really nice, resulting in a nice crispy, golden brown texture. I prepared the recipe as written and my wife and I really enjoyed it; but I’m sure you could spice it up a bit if you wanted to by adding some Cajun seasoning, or Old Bay.

With Lent a couple months away this Deep Fried Tilapia Recipe will go on my favorites list; it’s an excellent Deep Fried Fish Recipe.

Ingredients

2 Tilapia fillets

1/2 c. flour

Salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs

1/2 to 1 c. milk

Plain bread crumbs

Vegetable oil for deep frying

Directions

1. Rinse the Tilapia fillets in cold water and drain thoroughly; pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into 2 inch pieces. (I cut each fillet into 4 pieces depending on the size of the fillet)

2. On a plate salt and pepper the flour to taste. Pour some breadcrumbs on another plate for coating.

3. In a bowl whisk together the 2 eggs with enough milk to equal 1 1/2 cups of liquid.

4. Roll the fish pieces in the flour, dip in the egg milk mixture, then roll to coat in the bread crumbs. Set aside to dry a little bit while the deep fryer is heating.

5. Deep fry at 350F until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve.
