Patagonian Tooth Fish. An ancient fish found in the cold depths of
Antartic waters. Sounds horrible. Chilean Sea Bass is at the top of
quality restaurant menus worldwide and much revered as one of the
best eating fish there is. Same thing. So I am going with Tooth
Fish.
I dislike fish, and so does 20% of the population. Tooth Fish is and can be prepared in such a way that it is more like really good quality Flake. Doesn't smell like fish, doesn't taste like fish. Is flakey, fatty and easy to eat. Might even be better than the best Flake.
Blow torch or pour boiling water over the skin then it will remove easily. Soak in a tepid salty brine. This removes any residual fishy flavour. Season with salt and gently saute or bake. When the large flake texture starts to seperate its done. Really easy to get right. Great texture but almost tasteless. So, lots of room for a sauce. Lemon and capers, great. This Pumpkin and Mango puree is my best rendition for a complete meal.
