What the f uck are you having for Dinner thread..

Going to Barcelona in July I know a great seafood place there, can't wait.

 

Prefer octopus to squid but I do like both when done well.

 

Those prawns were whoppers. Lovely with garlic butter too.

Love pan fried squid. Crispy tentacles are my favourite bit

 

Where did you get prawns from that size?

 

I love it all.

Simple is the key for me. Garlic, maybe some chilli and black pepper, a wedge of lemon

The flavours of Squid, Octopus, Prawns and shellfish etc are really delicate, so they don't need loads of flavours adding imo

 

Scallops are my fave seafood closely followed by monk fish.

 

Just from a local fishmonger. I don't think they will be from UK waters though

Best prawns I've had were in Portugal. Massive chargrilled prawns served in a piri piri sauce

 

Monk fish is amazing. Have you ever prepped one from the whole fish before. It's a ****ing mission, which is probs why it's so expensive.

 

No I pretty much only have fish if I'm in a really good restaurant, can't be arsed cooking it.

 

It's an ugly ****er too. The tail needs cutting away from the spine and then the whole tail is in this kind of sac/skin thing that also needs cutting away. It's a fair bit of prep, but worth it for a wonderful fish.

I tend to order steak or rump beef etc when I'm out, coz the missus is veggie so I don't tend to buy much meat in at home.

 

I have to force myself not to have lamb shanks but they so good it's hard.

 

Does your Mrs eat fish?

Do you have any vegetarian restaurants down your way?

 

Not massive on fish

Still waiting for someone to give me a better use of fish than the traditional fish n chips.

 

Yeah I've seen them deffo ugly.

 

I find fish useful as a light meal in the summer, having it with salad or veg. Although probably not a good time at the mo, to be chatting to you about food, probably your desire right now, for the traditional fish n chips.

 

Fish fingers?

 

Woah, that's taking it a bit too far don't ya think

 

Salmon and broccoli fish cakes.

 

Monkfish curry

Mackerel done on the BBQ

Buy yeah, battered Cod takes some beating

 

Ffs, he's starving mate.
