Bass Recipes


There is only one way to cook bass in my opinion and that is as follows:-
Heat a small amount of oil in a large frying pan and place a filletted side of Bass skin side down into the hot oil.Then just watch as the flesh changes colour going pinkish to a bright white.When all the flesh has turned white dish the fish up and you will have a fantastic tasting fish with a delicous crispy skin.You can have this fish with any thing you choose salad,vegetables,chips etc or just crusty bread.

Keep your bass whole after gutting, fill the cavity with finely chopped red,yellow and green peppers, finely chop two small cloves of garlic, and add with the peppers. take two ounces of extra virgin olive oil and add some oregano and chives, mix together and coat both sides of the bass, put a little inside with the peppers, and keep the rest for basting during grilling. put the bass on some tin foil, add salt and pepper to taste, and put under a medium heat grill for ten minutes each side, baste at regular intervals. serve with a green salad and crusty french bread. enjoy!!!!
