Fishing Forum

[cool][#0000ff]It's been awhile since I posted any new fish cookery ideas, and I was talking with someone the other day about a recipe for ramaki that I wanted to try. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Ramaki is basically an oriental recipe for wrapping bacon around other meats...like chicken livers or chicken breasts. A while back, I saw a ramaki recipe on TV while watching North To Alaska...using salmon. I thunk to myself..."Why not catfish?"[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am attaching the recipe and some pics. I altered a recipe I found for making chicken breast ramaki and this one works great for catfish. I suspect you could use it with almost any fish, but since catfish are so firm and oily, it lends itself especially well to them.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I cooked mine over a flame broiler. Took just about six minutes per side to get the bacon a bit charred and the fish thoroughly cooked. I used one of those two part fish baskets that let you secure small fillets inside so that you don't have to turn them on a grill or griddle. Worked great.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You can panfry them, oven bake them or cook them just about any old way you want. In the recipe, I have made a couple of ingredient change suggestions too. I used beer...and the alcohol disappears during cooking. But, you can use flavorful fruit juices instead...like pineapple or apple juice. Citrus juice makes it a bit tart.[/#0000ff]

[cool]Looks like another winner, Pat! Printed it off and saved to work harddrive. I'm gonna have to hit Utah Lake again and score some more big k's. I have Friday and Sat off. If I can fix my air bladder in my tube, Friday sounds like a great day for me to float it!

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]We whipped up a batch tonight for supper. It’s a split decision. I liked it enough to do it again. My bride ate one piece and gave the rest to me. Don’t ask![/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4] [/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]I think it will work well with wild duck meat done on the grill and that will be my next try. Thanks again for sharing.[/size][/#800000][/font]
