| 534290 | 2007-03-19 05:44:00 | I have a recipe by Rick Stein which uses whiting, which is apparently a round fish. What could I use as a substitute ? Cod, perhaps ? en.wikipedia.org(fish) Misty :confused: |

| 534291 | 2007-03-19 06:31:00 | Here is a picture of whiting (fish) www.sea-fishing.org They do mention cod - so perhaps that is the substitute !? Misty :xmouth: |

| 534293 | 2007-03-19 06:49:00 | I guess it all depends on how the recipe dictates fish is to be cooked. From memory I think whiting is a firm textured fish, the same as blue cod, so that would be a suitable substitute. Red cod, aka Akaroa cod, tends to fall apart when cooked so it depends on the recipe as to whether that would be suitable. Other types of fish would probably do as well, such as orange roughy, sea perch and other mild-flavoured filleted fish. |

I miss my Terakihi. www.bbc.co.uk Quote: Whiting's a small member of the cod family, and should be bought very fresh because it loses its flavour over time. Like cod, this fish is best in winter, but is on sale all year. While it's not as exciting as some of the other white fish, it's useful for turning into fishcakes or fish mousse. |

| 534296 | 2007-03-19 08:08:00 | Red cod hasn't a lot of flavour & I think may flakes easily . Used to be a cheap fish when I was a kid . (There are no cheap fish now) Blue cod has good flavour & is firmer . Now one of the most expensive fish . But what does the recipe say you do with it, Misty? Fry, bake, flake, stuff . . . That's the only way a true cook can recommend an option . (Remember the drill . . . Do you want it for gaming or just for email . . ?) Edit: Hhmm . I see Foxy said this, didn't she? Well, we must be right . Do tell us how it turned out . |

Do tell us how it turned out. Hi Foxy and Laura We did not have tonight. But will do definitely, soon !!! Tonight we had fillets of John Dory with olives, capers and rosemary (grilled). included were anchovy, sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Life is tough !! Anyway the recipe I am referring to the fish is also grilled. The recipe comes from Goa. The accompaniement (how do you spell that ?) it potato bhaji. The main herb is coriander (mmmh !!) -- So what fish ?? Misty :D |
