I love fish. So many good ways to eat fish.

Whole Rainbow Trout pan fried
>heat pan to medium with 1/4" to 1/2" olive oil
>sprinkle generously the exterior of the fish with coarse salt and crushed black pepper
>place the fish in the hot pan: turn after a couple minutes flip after a couple more then turn again after a few more minutes
>while the fish is cooking thinly shave some garlic slices from 3-4 cloves
>remove fish when a crispy golded color has developed in the skin
>turn heat down to med low and shallow fry the garlic for a few minutes. You want supple textured and light khaki colored garlic.
>garnish fish with ladles of olive oil and garlic
>eat with crusty baguette
Simple batter mix for any fish
>1 1/2 cup 50/50 cornstarch/flour
>big pinch corse salt
>crushed peppercorns and one peri peri or Thai pepper
>mix the dry ingredients throuroughly by hand
>slowly pour in a bottle of lager or can of mineral water/club soda while whisking with a fork until the batter is viscous about like runny mucous
Potatoes and cod or bacalhau
>medium/medium high pan with olive oil
>thinly slice waxy potatoes (reds typically) put em in the pan
>thinly slice one or two medium onions
>after one side of the potatoes is golden brown mix in the onion
>salt and pepper the cod I usually chunk about 2 lbs up in large chunks
>thinly slice 3-4 cloves garlic
>once the onion sweats down and is supple add the cod and garlic
>season pan with a pinch of coarse salt and fresh ground pepper and two crushed peri peri or Thai peppers
>when fish is firm and white add 4-6 eggs to the top and cover with a lid so as to poach them to a yolk thats both fudgy and runny
>garnish with salt brined green olives and serve

I do a beer batter with flour although I'm thinking about trying a 50/50 blend with corn starch next time to max out the crispy factor. I usually just mix in coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper into the dry mix then pour a lager and whisk it together with a fork. I find that a cup of flour to 12 oz of beer works really well more flour and it comes out cakey less flour and it won't stick to the fish well. Pic is the striper I made the other night
