That sounds great! I just saw that Hugo was on PPV, and had suggested
to the husband that we watch it, but he's not thrilled about watching
a "kid's" movie. I wish they'd show Bridesmaids as I'd love to see
that again...

Having fished a lot and eaten what I caught, I consider tock cod to be
a rather coarse fish, not worthy of such delicate preparations.
IMNSHO, it's better in spicier preparations like Snapper* Veracruzano
or even fish curry.

*Not because it's often called "red snapper."

That would be a great way to treat a flatfish, like sanddabs or
petrale sole, though.

I want to see Hugo! We were going to take GS to see it a couple of
weeks ago, but I was sick so hubby took him. Now we have to Netflix
it and who knows how long that will take since it has won some awards.

Rock cod is a generic term for many fish (you should know that), so
your rock cod could be far different from hers. My favorite is the
yellow one and it's flesh is far from "coarse". I usually use white
wine and lemon when I cook fish, but veracruz would be fantastic for
that rock cod. I want to eat at your house the next time you catch
one and prepare it that way.

Only if it's barely coated in flour, sautéed quickly and served with a
butter sauce.

Saw that one at the movies. It was good, but the advertising hype
ruined it for me because I expected more.

No tears here.

Well.....I forgot to take pictures, we were talking and having a good
time while I put the finishing touches on the meal. But it was really
really good. I sprinkled the rock fish on one side with Tony
Chacheries and on the other side with Paul Prudhommes seafood magic,
lightly coated it with flour and sauteed it off in a combo of olive
oil and butter.
I let it sit in a 200 oven while I made the crawfish muniere sauce.

The combination was heavenly. The fish was tender and very flavorful
and the crawfish muniere just put it over the top.

We ate too much and drank too much wine and completely enjoyed Hugo.

BTW Hugo is NOT a kids movie. It's quite magical and richly
deserved it's awards.

It's not what you would expect from Scorsese. Kudo's to him.

OK! Saw "The Descendants" about 2 months ago, and "The Artist" about 2
weeks ago. Both excellent movies...

Here, I found a picture of the type of cod...it's a red cod....very
similar to what is called redfish. The flesh
is very similar to what I ate in New Orleans that was termed red
snapper.

I can't picture a yellow rock cod unless you mean one of the
overfished ones:

Those must be returned if you catch one.

That link was broken for me, so I couldn't see what the fish looks
like. I think I found what it was called "yellow-eyed rockfish. It
was a rosy yellow with a definite blush tinge around the edges. Very
pretty to look at.

Yelloweye rockfish may not be retained in California, due to
overfishing. Call Cal Fish&Game; turn your purveyor in.

That wasn't a purveyor and it was years ago anyway. No wonder it was
over fished, it's delicious.

When I was a kid, my dad and I did quite a bit of fishing on charter
boats out of Bodega Bay. We caught what were called red snapper, gray
snapper, China Cod and Lingcod mostly. What they were were red rockfish,
gray rockfish, China Cod [rockfish of a different color] and Lingcod
which had a completely different body shape. Lingcod were rare.
What I remember most about our trips were the women who filleted the
fish after we hit the dock. They could fillet a big rockfish perfectly
in less than twenty seconds. I'm a decent filleter but nothing like
them. I never saw a man do that job. Oh... and don't slip and fall on a
gunny sack full of rockfish. That's like sitting on a cholla cactus.
I've done both.
