Re: I Touched the Pickled Pelican


I've never detected any iodine taste in porgies. The white meat pretty much takes on whatever you season it with much like any other pure white meat fish like Hogs and Lionfish.
White meat fish aren't really suited for a fish bullion. You've got to have some flavor in there. The cream really knocks down any 'fishiness' and balances out the flavors into a rich delicious rue balanced with the fish oils from the darker meat fish.
I love Thai food but that brown fermented fish sauce is disgusting to me. I had a Japanese coworker that loved it though.

There are sometimes certain individual (porgie) fish that have a stink of iodine. I forgot that. It is quite a strong odor. If they smell like that when cleaning them, I just toss them. Maybe 5% of the fish?

First Post! I win! Please submit your recipes - I've always wondered what to pair with roast pelican.

Welcome to the board!

Re: I Touched the Pickled Pelican

Awesome report and cooking photos! If you do the coconut curry consider throwing in some lemongrass. It also has magical properties.

Thanks for the tip - my mom grows lemongrass, so I have access to it fresh but I've never used it - how do you add it? Chop it up like green onions? Whole chunks to be removed later? Would you put it in the stock or in the final product soup/curry? Welcome to Spearboard!

Lemongrass tends to stay a bit woody although I eat it and think it is fine (in Thai soups they don't remove it either). Some people might just peel an outer layer, chop into 3-4" sections, crush, add to soup base, and remove afterwards. You can treat it kind of how you would a green onion. There should be a browner outer layer of skin you can peel off & discard and then I usually chop diagonally 1/8" slices. Since you're straining you'll be removing it eventually anyway but by that time it will have imparted its flavor.

Lemongrass is a staple in Thai dishes and I'd venture to say that if you're adding coconut milk or coconut curry to something that lemongrass is always a worthy consideration.

White meat fish aren't really suited for a fish bullion. You've got to have some flavor in there. The cream really knocks down any 'fishiness' and balances out the flavors into a rich delicious rue balanced with the fish oils from the darker meat fish.

The brains had a surprisingly delicate flavor, reminiscent of fish stew.
