Hello All!
I came across this idea recently and there seem to be two methods: 1. Deep fry breaded fish for 15 seconds and then hold at about at 115F for 10 minutes in more oil. 2. Place fish in dish on thin lemon slices, pour over olive oil at 310F, cook for 10 minutes in 350F oven. I'm inclined to try the second but I'd be interested in opinions. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

If there's ever a time to saute in salted butter, it's fresh fish fillets! Leave drowning in in butter! Andy |

Leave drowning in in butter! That may well be the case but "poaching in oil" is favored by a lot of fashionable, many-star chefs! -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

I thought poaching was done over water or broth, not oil. When I think of poached eggs I certainly don't think of oil. (Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.) Jill |

It's an interesting idea, not one I would have thought of. Wouldn't that make it pretty greasy? I will be interested to know how it turns out. |

I agree with the others who have said that poaching in oil would produce a greasy mess, so I googled and see that you're right. It seems to be the hot new thing (lukewarm new thing?) at trendy restaurants. Here's one explanation: http://archive.seacoastonline.com/ne.../it/100836.htm -From what I can tell from reading several recipes online, the chefs are riding on the popularity of olive oil. They're depending on people liking the flavor of the oil itself. I have to guess they're using one of the flavorful green ones, not the blander lighter yellow ones. Also, many of the recipes call for a larger than usual acid element: lemon, vinegar, or tomatoes. The idea may be to create a sort of ceviche salad. After all, large amounts of oil go into salad dressing, but we don't usually say that it makes the salad greens greasy. That's because there's a fair amount of vinegar also. We're used to the combination. Combine that notion to that of eating seafood rarer and rarer, and the idea of "poached in oil" sort of starts to make sense. In one of your recipes, the idea was to bread and deep fry briefly. I guess that's to make the breading crispy before poaching. I'd recommend starting with the second idea which is to cook on lemon slices. Actually, if it were me, I'd let someone else at the table I was dining with order the oil poached fish. That way I could try a bite if it looked appealing, but I wouldn't be stuck if it turned out to be the greasy mess we're all predicting. ... But that's just me. I admire your spirit to experiment. --Lia |

I think most of us who expressed that opinion were referring the BREADED version. A breading is more than a dusting with flour or corn starch. -sw |

Poaching is done in water, or here, in stock. I'm currently up to my ears in stock ingredients in the small freezer. I'm on vacation the end of this month and plan to make a _bunch_ of frozen stock for rice, split peas and lentils! I even have smoked and roasted rib bones to use up! I'll probably make a bunch of stock cubes to use in sauces. -- Peace! Om "He who has the gold makes the rules" --Om "He who has the guns can get the gold." -- Steve Rothstein |

I tried the lemon and oven recipe on a "fresh" wild-caught sole filet from Whole Foods and also cooked half of it in deep oil. The oven poached sole *was* better and neither, drained on paper towels, was greasy but both indicated that the sole was not "fresh" as I remember from my childhood. There is a subtle flavor that was missing as anyone who knows what fresh fish tastes like would verify! The only time that I have come across the fresh taste recently was in a deep-fried whole sole in a Thai restaurant. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
