Has anyone everdone wolf fish on the egg. I was assured by my fishmonger that it tastes of scallops and will hold up to grilling. I was going to use a lime/ginger marinade that is good. Any recs on setups, temps, etc...[p]TIA[p]Mike

    bigmikej, Can you educate me real quick? What is wolf fish, where do you catch them, and how? I have never heard of this fish.[p]CWM

    Car Wash Mike,[p]I remember seeing these guys in the New England Aquarium in the "St. George's Bank" (Northern Atlantic) tank. They're also called Ocean Catfish, from what I hear, and I've had it once in a restaurant and it was quite good. It's very distinctive--not like any other fish I've had, and like bigmikej's fishmonger said, it tasted somewhat more like scallops or lobster than fish. Kind of an interesting chewy texture as well--not flaky at all like some other fishes. I've never seen them in the stores though, but I've seen them in a few restaurants in the Boston area.

    Car Wash Mike,
    Aron seems to have all that info for you. I "caught" mine at a local seafood restaurant that also has a fresh seafood retail counter. The meat resembles chilean sea bass. Marinating as we speak. I think I am going to go the hot/fast route. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Aron,
    That was an education of the wolffish, more than I asked for and more than enough to boggle the mind. If it is like a lobster or scallop, I want some to try.
    Thanks for the link.[p]CWM

    bigmikej,
    Almost all fish that is not oily (like mackeral/salmon) can benefit from a hot fast cook. Your goal is to find the temp that will brown the meat nicely before it is overdone. The thickness of the fish is a big factor in how much heat to use. [p]Enjoy...and let us know how it comes out. Sounds like a great fish.
    Beers!

    Let me know how it goes. I'm always wanting to do something different.[p]CWM
