Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2009 2:00 am Post subject: Catfish Ideas? (and a ramble lol!)
Well this post is'nt as such a Recipe... yet...
We went to our local "ish" Ethnic shopping area yesterday, We are allways overwhelmed by the produce these shop's stock herbs, spices, dips, breads the list is literally endless!!!
The freezer in one of the shop's stocks allot of fish and at seriously bargain prices. Some of the fish are HUGE I'm normally pretty good when it comes to identifying species but was stumped yesterday on a few they had in stock, all marked up with weird names (I'm guessing hindu or summat )
I've come across this list of alternative names that we're all used to incase anyone has the same problem (not that you probably will... it's just me I'm not normal!).
Anyway I thought I'd look into it because I don't want to be buying some that tastes crap and that I could'nt identify lol! (the people in the shop sorta don't speak English so when I ask "wotz that" they say "Fish" )
Types of Indian and English names of fish:
Rawas: Indian Salmon Fish
Rane: Red Snapper Fish
Gobro: Rock Cod
Rohu: Greas carp Fish
Murdoshi: Lady Fish
Pomfret: Butter Fish; can be substituted with cat fish
Surmai: King Fish
Sangtam: Cat Fish (A fresh water fish)
Shevto: Muliet Fish
Bangda: Mackerel
Sardines: Are small fish (No shit pmsl! )
Hilsa Fish: a fresh water fish; can be substituted with cod fish
Teesrya: Clams
Kekda, Kurlya: Crab
Jhinga, Chingri, Chemen, Sungat: Prawn
I've got my beady eyes on some Catfish they have in stock at the moment £5 each or 3 for £12!!! but their huge!
I've eaten Catfish before but anyone got any good recipe ideas or suggestions?
as with most fish ,ide try lemonbutter and a drizle of white wine,and maybe a scatter of salt........... ide be intrested to see some pics of the shop and its produce! _________________

I'm making at the moment a Sea Salt mix up of fresh Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest with homegrown Lemon Verbina added so going to wak some of that in/over it will let you know how it turns out Our Offcial Director of Marketing and Taste Testing has yet to confirm the new salts effects... (Mary our next door neighbour , havent poisoned her or mates & family to date ) I'm intrested in the King Fish though... never tried it before but to be honist it's really HUGE and again only a fiver! whats the best way does anyone know of carving up a (shark sized ) frozen fish into portions? _________________ www.morlangwyr.com
LOL! whent to the shop today... dodgie looks BIG time with the camera lol!
(will try and phone the owners for permission's on photo's of their feezer, think they thought we was H&S or Enviromental lot snooping )
Was priced up for £5 each or again 3 for £12... living in a small shack we didn't have the freezer space for a real monster's but at a guess I'd say this one we got is about 4kg LOL! Got to the Till and the guy as we had just baught 3kg of Goat gave us a discount! so the fish worked out at about £4 squids
Soon as this shite weather breaks it's getting the treatment on our Barbie
