So, last weekend I went deep sea fishing. We made a whole family affair of it. Mike, the girls and I went with my dad, brother and two sisters. And, of course my girls brought a friend. We decided to fish for fluke. We are not that fond of bluefish since one trip when my dad and brother caught about 100 of them. Yes, we were eating bluefish FOREVER! Needless to say, that's why we are not that fond of it anymore.
The morning starts around 7 am with a good breakfast, packing lunches and we are off to the docks in Point Pleasant Beach to board The Gambler. We are all excited!
The boat takes off! It is a beautiful day. Now we only hope that the fish are biting. And, yes they were! We came home with dinner for everyone!
Even some bonus skate wing filet - my favorite! The best was that the mates even filet it for you. There is nothing like fresh caught fish! Enjoy the recipe we prepared that evening.
Sauteed Fresh Fluke in Basil Lemon Caper Butter
Serves 4
4 6-8oz Fluke Filets
1 cup flour for dredging
salt and pepper
1 tsp paprika
3 tbl canola oil
3 lemons juiced
2 tbl basil chiffonade
1/2 cup capers
4 tbl butter
Season fish filets. Mix flour with salt, pepper and paprika. Dredge filets in flour. Gently shake off excess. In sauté pan add canola oil. Get hot. Add filets. Cook for about 3 minutes or until golden on each side. Remove to serving plate. In same pan add butter, let brown slightly and quickly add basil, lemon juice, capers.
Let reduce for about 2 minutes and pour over fish. Enjoy!!
