Whole Fish with Black Bean Garlic Sauce
The recipe suits any small whole fish you can get your hands on - from the many rockfish species available in San Diego to shortspine thornyhead and ocean whitefish. Black bean garlic sauce is a paste made from salted and fermented black soybeans, available at most Asian supermarkets. This flavoring is a traditional Chinese staple, and this preparation of whole fish is a popular dish to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
Korean Spicy Braised Mackerel (Godeungo Jorim)
This is a traditional Korean recipe, godeungeo jorim that can also be used for black cod (eundaegu jorim). Jorim, meaning “braised,” is a cooking style that is widely adaptable to many types of fish available in San Diego. A one-pot dish, it combines a simplicity of preparation with complex flavors.
Asian-Inspired Whole Rainbow Trout
A thin skin and fine protein structure lend to a quick cook time and tender texture. Rainbow trout has a mild flavor that takes to aromatics and all kinds of seasoning combinations really well. Their size lends to a great, easy to prepare meal, with no waste to be had!
