Frozen Whiting Fish Recipes

BAKED WHITING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place whiting fillets in a baking dish and add enough milk to cover the entire bottom of the dish. Season fillets with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Top each fillet with at least 3 pieces tomato. Add butter to each fillet. Squeeze 1 lemon half over each fillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes.

DEEP-FRIED WHITING

Steps:

• Rinse the whiting. Drain but do not pat dry.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
• Season the flour with salt and pepper. Put the whiting in the flour, and stir so that each piece is liberally coated. Shake off excess flour. Drop a third of the whiting into the oil, and cook about 5 minutes, until the fish is crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• Repeat with the remaining whiting.
• Serve with lemon wedges or lemon halves.

COCONUT CURRY FISH

Steps:

• Heat a medium (10-inch) saucepan with deep sides over medium-high. Drizzle in olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the curry powder to the pan, and toast for about 1 minute, stirring often to keep the curry from scorching. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Place fish on top of cooked vegetables, or nestle them into the vegetables, if your pan is becoming too full. Pour coconut milk over fish and vegetables.
• Cover and simmer over medium-low until fish is cooked and starts to flake, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime to taste over the top and garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with white rice or couscous.
