Calling all Chefs! Fish Recipe Needed!?!
Calling all Chefs! Fish Recipe Needed!?
Hello everyone, Years ago, I dated a chef who made me this fish dish that was to die for. Problem is...I don't remember what it was. However, I do remember it having a red sauce and being served over rice. Help!

Having been a chef, I can tell you that there are far too many possibilities to choose from based on your description. However, if we stick with "fish" as opposed to "seafood", and assume that the sauce color was actually "red" as opposed to being something with red in the name, such as "Fish in Red Wine Sauce", we can maybe narrow it down a bit.
Based on the ingredients listed, is was most likely either an asian (Chinese or Thai) or creole recipe, but it could potentially be Jewish as well.
If the meal was served during Passover, then it was most likely "Fish in a Red Sauce": http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fish-in-a-r...
If the meal was spicy, it was most likely something similar to "Kottayam Fish Curry": http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fish-in-a-r...
"Sauce Piquant": http://www.lalagniappe.com/recipesaucepi...
"Grilled Salmon with Hot Red Sauce": http://www.recipezaar.com/212775...
or "Fish with Creamy Red Sauce": http://southernfood.about.com/od/moresea...
If the meal was sweet then:
maybe either Go-Chu-Jang or sam-jang (both Korean)
or "Fish Cutlets in Sweet & Sour Sauce": http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/43...
Or, finally, if it was simply like a red "fishy" stew, it very well may have been the old standby of French cuisine, Bouillabaise, which he just put over rice. In which case: http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/00...
Or, if slightly spicy and "fish stew" like, then it was very likely none other than "Smoked Fish Jambalaya". Personally, I prefer Chicken or Alligator, but I've heard the fish version is good as well. A recipe that looks about right can be found here: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/smoke...
No matter what it was, I'm sure you'll find a new favorite somewhere in this list.. so, Bon Appétit!
not a chef but just seasoned your fish with onions peppers garlic, other fish spice, cut ockro in pieces, put some crackers. now wrap in a foil paper and put in the oven and baked, that is very nice, its juicy too
Maybe it was a sweet and sour, red wine, ketchup-y sauce on top of fish. Was it a breaded fish? What type of fish was it? Was it white or brown rice? There isn't enough information to give you the recipe, sorry!!!
I've seen Emeril cook salmon using Merlot. I suggest his website or googling some other recipes.
I need more info than that... But red sauce over white rice sounds Creole (Fancy Cajun) in nature... If it was a little bit
spicy then this is probably a good starting point. Chances are it was Red Snapper with a basic creole sauce that probably included some kind of combination of butter, hot sauce of some variety, tomatoes and olive oil with a ton of seasoning in it like Cumin, cloves, onions, bell peppers, oregano, and cilantro.
I'll tell you what, it goes great with this recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 oz. white rum
* 1 oz. Jamaican rum
* 1 oz. Bacardi 151 rum
* 3 oz. orange juice
* 3 oz. unsweetened pineapple juice
* 1/2 oz. Grenadine
* Garnish: assorted fruits on a skewer, like orange slice, pineapple chunk, cherry, lime etc.
I'm not a chef, but tonight I served cod fillets in a sauce which was onion, garlic and red pepper with Nando's peri-peri marinade, tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and seasoning including a tsp of sugar and a splash of balsamic vinegar. I added tarragon and parsley. it would have been lovely with rice, but we had it with new potatoes. all I did was prepare the sauce then placed the still semi-frozen fish in the pan and put the lid on to poach. It was really nice!
