Fish question - Plaice.

I certainly don't Roe

I have the distinction of handling herring roe at work on the meat & fish counter. Apparantly it tastes great coated with a bit of flour and fried for a few minutes.

I just take old peoples' word for it.

Just about to say that as it only the older generation that buys it nowadays. I work as a fish monger in Morissons and I think its discusting to eat that stuff. The hard roe yes maybe, but the soft manfish paste >>>>>>no thanks:eek:
 
I'd cook that Plaice in milk and butter. Thicken the liquor up afterwards, add in some freshly chopped parsley and serve. Bloody delicious.
 
The thing is with fish you need loads to make a meal out of it. Well I do anyway. I serve people at work and they ask for some cod or whatever for two people. I pick out a piece that I would consider right and they say "Good god no thats way to big"

I mean, some people have a chunk of fish that weighs about 8 ounces and say its enough for 2... :eek: and plaice, dont get me started. I woudlo need at least 4 or 6 fillets to even start to make a meal from it. I know it depends on what size the fish is but once its cooked and if you dont like the skin, thats removed you have bugger all left..

4 or 6 fillets of plaice for one meal! Good God droolinggimp, I reckon 2 would be the max for most humans; are you sure there are no killer whales or elephant seals in your ancestral lineage?!?


Just drifted to this line this whilst trawling the net by the way. Good to see no-one is wavering in their commitment to these ridiculous nautical spoonerisms. As for the few discruntled posts; no need to whale (like a Banshee). If you sea a thread you don't appre-sea-ate doesn't mean you are press-ganged into navigating through the entire yarn.
I wish that this thread was just aboat groupers of killer whales and angling. Then I could seam all clever by suggesting an alturbotive angle to presenting it - as a pod-cast.
Anyway, I've been on the port this evening, so I'm a bit lashed\wrecked, time to jump ship...

Shell I leave you with a shipe joke I wonder (hope you don't keel over):

Why are pirates called 'pirates'?



Because they AAAARRRRRGH!!!!

pfft, the last fish-pun thread was better. this one's a load of codswallop.

I had composed a much more impressive one but then accidentally deleted it (
you should have seen the one that got away...);
After that I was hooked by this line of disgussion, but all I could see the blank page and I floundered whilst attempting to fillet. I promise it was gurnard be much better, I reelly wrasse-led with it but just ended up pouting and looking koi. Maybe it's all a misthake and I shad go back to school before I continue dab-ling in banter, sushi a shame that this is just a load of pollocks...

By the way, do you know how much the octopus had to pay to send his little cousin to the doctor?


6 quid (say it aloud!)
