Any other good ways to cook it besides frying it?
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
1 bunch spring onions (use up to 3/4 stem) chopped
2 tbsp finely shredded than chopped carrots
2 tbsp flour
2 cups chicken broth(unsalted if available)
2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
1/4 cup sherry
1 1/2 to 2 cups finely shredded cooked rockfish
Rockfish Preparation (Foil Steamed):
Remove skin and all dark meat, then place filets in foil packet
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice
Lightly salt and pepper
Place 10 to 12 fresh chive stems ( garlic chives if available) over filets
Seal packet tightly-cook 425 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Cooking time will vary with thickness of filets. Fish should flake easily.
In soup pot melt butter. Saute garlic, onions, and carrots until tender.
Over medium heat, add flour to butter mixture stirring frequently 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Lower heat and whisk in broth and cream. Return to medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture thickens.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, cayenne, and sherry.
Finally, add rockfish. Finely shredding the rockfish really gives this soup a rich texture.
Simmer for 20 minutes
Before serving garnish with fresh parsley and paprika.
