An Oil Thread!

[Roblatt]

OK. I'm having a barbeque Christmas Eve with friends, and fish is on the menu.
Do I use peanut oil because it takes more heat, or olive oil for flavour? Or maybe just plain old canola?

Ocean fish only snapper, flathead, whiting etc. Oh don't forget the prawns (shrimps to those across the pond).

Merry Christmas to all.

Have a safe and relaxed break.

If you fry game fish such as bass,crappie,etc. peanut oil is THE way to go!

Is it SG(Special Grill) rated and don't over tighten the filter on the drip tray I'm coming past on my way to Red Hill, so if I see smoke over you way I'll know you got the oil too hot!!!

Merry Christmas to all Kym

I forgot about running synthetic oil on a BBQ grille. I assume you are using a Roper plate on this set-up ?

Think Italian ..... (EVOO) Extra Virgin Olive Oil all the way!!!

For a +/- 500 gram filet

50 ml extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 pod garlic, minced
A few sprigs of rosemary or oregano
Salt and pepper to season

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and add the cleaned fish fillet soaking it for a couple of hours keeping it cool.
The longer you soak ..... more the flavour sinks into the fish.

Grill the fish on a medium flame in a non-stick pan, basting regularly with the marinade. Allow 2-3 minutes for each side, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Eat right away with a squeeze of lemon and a big salad.

Happy Holiday everyone

And do not forget that the best olive oil comes from Crete or Eastern Peloponnesus (Kranidi area), Greece.

Any Italian would claim for Toscana. Or Calabria. Or Puglia. Or Marche. Or from wherever he was born and mothers kitchen still running...
