It really depends on the type of fish you are using and if you are going to 'coat' the fillets in flour, breadcrumbs etc. The upper side of a fish fillet usually presents itself better visually than the underside so if the fish is to be cooked as it is then greater care is required when cooking the presentation side. Kind regards Miles Maryam,

They're missing the point of good fish cookery. Miles Hank,

I like it best just salted and floured, then shallow-fried in olive oil. Serve with a squeeze of Meyer lemon, and dat's enuff fer me.

Perhaps we should chain ourselves to the handle of the frozen shell fish cabinet in a prominent store? :) Cid Miles,

Anyway I doubt whether anything we catch will fit into a conventional oven :) With our new invention of Roman pullies and hoists I see no problem dealing with the rigours of the sea..... oh by the way bring your swim suit and sun tan lotion :) Cid Elsie,

Would have to take the Chef with us. Elsie Cid,

I've got the yellow oilcloths... let's hit the high seas and get a whooper :) Cid Elsie,

I like whitebait but it's something I haven't had for years. In fact I like every kind of fish and find it easier to digest rather than meat. As you say, people here go abroad to eat a variety of seafood. The frozen shell fish I bought recently were largely tasteless and I had such big expectations.... never mind there's lots of good fresh food available at the moment and I have certainly eaten very well this weekend. Cid Miles,
