Thai Sea Bass

Eggle · March 2010

I'm not a huge fish guy, but us Catholics cant eat meat on Friday's during lent so I tried this recipe out of the Egg Cookbook. Thai Sea Bass.....

That's banana leaves from the local foreign supermarket. The cook was 350 for 7 minutes each side or 130 internal. There was a sauce not pictured that was coconut milk, red curry paste, and chicken broth brought to a boil and simmered. I used DP's Tsunami Spin for my seasoning. This was pretty damn good i must say.

That looks incredible. Was it hard at all. I'm always impressed when I see a dish like that. Great job

Appreciate it, mark. I'm still new to this and was hopingmy description from photo bucket would upload with the pci but it didnt. chopping up the ingreditents was hard but after that the whole "wrapped in banana leaves!" aspect just sounds really good and impresses people- not hard at all after the chopping.

Oh YEAH! Now THERE'S something we don't see on the forum over and over. Very nice!

That's out of the new cookbook, huh? I hope we see more photos of cooks from the new book. Is that mint, cilantro and basil?

You guys are veterans in the kitchen- you were right on all the ingredients.

im going to try that as soon as my mint grows a little more, nice presentation

Do you guys grow most of you own herbs?

fishlessman · March 2010

i have a few, some come inside, some survive the newengland winters. outside i have sage and three varieties of mint, and i have a big rosemary bush and a bay bush that moves outside during the summer. then i plant a couple basil, oregano,cilantro, and thyme, all those grow quick outdoors. i used to freeze alot of basil but lately its been cheap at the market and they give a BIG bag. then i have enough blueberries to feed rum punch to maybe the whole forum :laugh: this summer with the new mint crop i planted last year there will be mint blueberry mojitos

Eggle, I really appreciated your post.

I love Thai food and your cococut curry makes me hungry. The banana leaves always make for a nice presentation and you can make them up ahead of time. Lovely pics.
