say that for some 'time I wanted to make the cod fish, especially after seeing their . There are weeks that I refrain from buying the cod, because my boyfriend (who likes cod !!!!) in front of the cod begins to make funny faces. It does not help to explain that a) is the same fish, swear and b) the recipe I have in mind is superdelicata. Nothing.
However, on Monday we made a trip to Slow Fish. It was the last day of the show and I went there mainly to hear the presentation of this book .
However, even before entering the hall Nouvel (marvelous in my opinion, but perhaps a little ' too large to Slow Fish) we were greeted by well-known educational boards on which fish should be avoided or otherwise limited fortomente consumption. And there it was my cod which is proudly displayed on the second sign, being among the most exploited fish along with the poor of the world bluefin tuna. The fish advised by the next folder, because (again) recently exploited in the kitchen (in addition to my beloved bonito!) Is the horse mackerel. The fish is called in Genoa Suello , though having seen a thousand times by the fishmonger to keep company with anchovies and mackerel, I had never tried. So yesterday, along with a pound of anchovies, I caught one, just to try it. The meat looks a bit 'to the mackerel, it is more delicate in flavor but a bit' less soda in the sense that threatens to loosen up a bit 'in cooking.
For cleaning, I refer you to the instructions that gave Fiordisale time ago: very valuable, too bad not reading them first!
I however, saw what we wanted to do, I have not worried too much about any crushing. I removed the head and entrails and I split into two threads (leaving the central bone). I cooked the fillets for about ten minutes covered with milk. Then I clean the fish removing all thorns, and I whipped in a blender with oil, how to make mayonnaise. In the end I added salt and a bit 'of black pepper and grated lemon rind untreated. I used the cream to fill a few cupcakes, made long ago and frozen. But it is perfectly simple spread on toasted bread.
ps: this fish was really a wonderful discovery for both the low cost (4 euro per kilo), and for the very delicate flavor. A must buy back the first opportunity.
