My hubby fished all the time up there and we joke to our son that his first solid food was barramundi! <br />A quick note- some cornflours are made from wheat so make sure you buy a corn one if gluten intolerant.(Kream Cornflour in the red box is wheat/ White Wings in the yellow box is corn.)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824924349210440889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-43318898301997305492009-08-14T00:19:40.048+10:002009-08-14T00:19:40.048+10:00I actually never heard of this sort of fish - with...I actually never heard of this sort of fish - with the exception of your blog of course.

But then I've never met a fish I didn't like! I'd like to add a couple of points: well-known species tend to be more highly priced, simply because people recognise the names. Cheap fish are usually underrated rather than low quality -- for example, leatherjacket is delicious, and usually cheap. Exceptions to this are flake (shark) and anything that has been frozen and imported.<br />Your fishmonger should be able to tell you how to cook their fishes. Mine will also gut and scale whole fish for free, and it's much cheaper to buy whole rather than filleted fish (I have a filleting knife to do it myself). My favourite method is to dredge fillets in flour and fry them in a small amount of oil, but oven-baked whole fish is also delicious. The Sydney Fish Market website has some information on how to cook fish IIRC.Chookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230973711859964063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-26923249956254568102009-08-13T01:10:03.978+10:002009-08-13T01:10:03.978+10:00We love mild tasting fish as well..I like your tem...We love mild tasting fish as well..I like your tempura batter recipe, Rhonda..so delicious!

I wish I'd had breakfast BEFORE reading your blog!<br /><br />Fish is expensive here in the UK, and unless you can get it from a good fishmonger, preferably at the seaside itself, then it is nearly always frozen and pretty tasteless too.

They were fantastic with chicken too. It is well worth the effort if you have an excess of lemons and you cook with fish a lot.

Whiting was always my favourite to eat though! Yummmmmm I wonder if I can find it at the Queen Vic Market? Makes me hungry already and it is only 9.30am!

I add some lemon pepper seasoning to plain flour, dust the fish with this and fry in a little oil and butter. Just as it is ready to serve, I give it a small squeeze of lemon juice.

I have really gotten into making fresh bread and love it.<br /><br />Thanks for telling me about your weather. It sounds nice, but also like it can be bad sometimes. One of the nice things about Colorado is that we don't have humidity or at least very little of it. We are considered arid, but do have some cold winters with snow.<br /><br />Thanks for the tempura batter. I will try it on my zucchini. I haven't fried any yet this summer, but my husband loves it that way and your recipe sounds like a good one to use as the batter.<br /><br />Have a good day.<br /><br />PatPatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-27280509097994846782009-08-12T07:22:00.474+10:002009-08-12T07:22:00.474+10:00It would be so nice to be able to garden all year ...It would be so nice to be able to garden all year long!

Surprisingly, (for a coastal country), fish tends to be quite pricey here, but that recipe sounds and looks so appetizing, I'm going to put it on the menu this week.<br />I have been meaning to write and tell you that a neighbour invited me to a tupperware party last week. I didn't really want to go because I know how expensive tupperware can be, but at the same time I wanted to be neighbourly and support her. I knew I would be tempted by all the wonderful things they offer. As I went out the door that night my husband said to me (half in fun, half serious), "when you feel tempted to buy up big, just ask yourself what Rhonda would say." I did have to laugh! You are becoming legendary around here! As a result I was very sensible and came away with a few practical items I needed without breaking the bank!<br />We've been very busy around here just lately, and I haven't had much time to comment, but I do love to come here in the morning.<br />Have a good day.<br />Rachel L from NZRachel L from NZhttp://www.homesteadblogger.com/littlebournefarmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-51279958690425479682009-08-12T05:40:53.802+10:002009-08-12T05:40:53.802+10:00Hello Rhonda,
