river cobbler with lemon garlic and saffron.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

River cobbler is a white fish that is inexpensive.

Take fillets of river cobbler, use half a lemon for each fillet marinade in the lemon and a pinch of saffron. Place the saffron between the fillets and leave for an hour covered. I serve it with a strong peppery salad and either some nice bread or new potatoes. Get the rest of your prep or cooking done.

Put oil in a pan, slice garlic. Lightly fry and add fish with marinade into pan on medium heat when all cooked and fish is about to fall apart serve with cooked marinade as sauce using bread or tatties to mop it up!

Yum!

I don't think we can get that fish in the US, but I'm so stealing this recipe for my sister! She loves fish and is always looking for new recipes. Thanks

Tilapia and catfish are common white freshwater fish in the states.

Good idea - I'll change river cobbler to tailapia and send her the recipe.

That sounds crazy delectable.

[Payne]

This recipe, I can attest, is delicious.

I bet it would also work with chicken filets, as well. I'm going to give it a shot later this week.

actually, tilapia is not native to the US  and is mostly imported from vietnam where it is farm-raised.

for the love of god, please don't eat farm-raised fish. This recipe (which sounds awesome - thanks Pix!) would work perfectly well with haddock, flounder, sole, or perch, most of which can be found wild-caught for not much more money than tilapia.

Any white fish would do the job like, just river cobbler is a cheap one at my local supermarket.

Tell me how that works on the chicken tho Bella!

In my senior year of high school, my science class ran our school's greenhouse and nursery, and we rasied tilapia to sell to local restaurants. What's wrong with farm raised?

you don't want to know what commercially farmed fish are fed.

also, fish farms create an easy way for diseases to arise and to spread rapidly through a species. Overcrowded pens + no real safeguards against farmed stock escaping into the wild = possible devastating epidemic.

also also, just as with GMO crops, many commercial aquaculture operations raise their own "brand" of fish, genetically modified to be optimized for farm-raising. The question of what happens when these fish escape and introduce their genetics into the wild population of the species has not been satisfactorily answered.

also also also, farm-raised fish tastes like crap compared to its wild counterparts (you get out of it what you put into it. see problem number one).

Where possible I avoid over-fished or farmed fish, but good fish markets are hard to come by and I'm not exactly minted.

Also a lot of cheap farmed salmon are fed with extra dye to make em moar pink. 

Glad you like the recipie guise! I winged it from stuff I had in my cupboard and fridge!

Oh.

in all fairness, having thought about my position on this matter I have come to the conclusion that in terms of nutritional value, food safety, and ecological soundness, eating farm-raised fish is still probably light years better than eating commercially raised poultry or beef.
