Does anyone have any good recipes for freshwater fish such as crappie or bass? I am tired of all the same old frying recipes. I would love any new suggestions. I am also trying to keep my health up, so deep frying is now out of the question.

INGREDIENTS:

3-5 lb bass (2 X 2 1/2-3lb bass would make a fine meal)
1 large onion sliced
2 lemons sliced
1/4 cup olive oil (good for you)
1 tomato sliced
4 cloves garlic sliced very thin
1/2 cup kalmata olives sliced, chopped or halved
6 sprigs rosemary plus another 2 tbsp needles
1 1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup fish or shrimp stock (in a pinch use chicken or vegetable stock)
salt & pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425 (you can also do this on a hot BBQ pit wrapped in foil)

Season the fish with the salt and pepper. Place the lemon slices on the bottom of a large roasting pan and top with the onion slices. Drizzle with white wine. Place sprigs of rosemary on top of the sliced lemons and onion. Lay the fish on top of the onion slices, then place the tomato slices, rosemary needles, garlic cloves and olives evenly over the tops of the fish. Pour 1 1/2 cups wine around the fish, and drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over the fish. Place the fish in the oven and roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove and drizzle the fish stock over the fish, as well as another 2 tablespoons of olive. Return to the oven and continue to cook until well caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil before serving.

Plate fish and spoon some of the pan drippings over the fish before serving.

You can pan fry a fish dredged in flour using a non-stick fry pan, 2 tbsp canola or olive oil and 1 tbsp butter or margarine (try Brummel & Brown yogurt spread).

Make a quick sauce by pouring off the oil, add 2 tbsp butter or margarine, 1 tbsp capers and juice of 1 lemon. Quickly fry the capers and pour all over the fish filet.

I am supposed to be going fishing for trout this weekend and would love any recipes for them. I have never fished for freshwater trout and am looking forward to the experience. Thanks for any help on cooking them, that is if I catch any!

Classic Rainbow Trout is gut 'em, scale 'em, dust in flour and fry whole in butter.
Rainbow Trout Don't Need to be Scaled...Removal of the tiny scales also removes the thin coat of natural jelly around the scales that allows the trout to be breaded without using any type of liquid.

Tip: If you are cooking the trout head-on, when the eyes turn white you know it's done to perfection.

Good luck on catching enough to have a fish fry.

Thanks for all the cooking tips! I am going to N. Ar to trout fish on the White River. I have talked to several people that have fished there lately and they have been wearing them out! Hopefully I will be able to land a few.

Have you thought about grilling them on a well-greased fish griddle with a little lemon pepper seasoning and lime juice?

I do that with salmon and catfish all the time. Would like to try tilapia as well.
