What do you think about my NYs dinner menu? @Bjerknes

Starter, parma ham on a bed of rocket salad and parmesan with a balsamic dressing.

Main course, oven baked cod fillet served on pointed cabbage with roasted hazelnuts and a chives butter sauce.

Dessert, chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream and sea buckthorn curd.

And that champagne was on point.

That looks fantastic. Great job man!

How you gonna go about cooking them? I remember trying octopus once when I was a kid and they were so chewy. I'm guessing they were just poorly cooked by whoever it was and it is possible to do them well. What's your plan?

Thats really the trick, cook them long enough. You can also grill them afterwards. In the south of Italy they even eat them raw

I cook them in a sauce

Nice man, enjoy. You have them in a risotto or in some pasta or what you thinking?

You could do both, I'll put some bread in the oven and eat them with the sauce while dipping the bread in it. Its for right before the match, it wasnt ment for diner.

wine braised does the trick for me.

and then just sear on a hot pan for a couple mins.

Google Spanish octopus recipes

aren't you supposed to eat the octopus alive? like it's supposed to be still movings it's tentacle as you chew right?

[Lion]

it's the ultimate power move. the proof we are the top of the food chain. almost every other creature will eat another animal alive.

if we could eat a chicken or cow alive without getting sick we would be doing it

Bought mackerel at the market this weekend. It’s not that I never ate it but somehow I just never bought it and I really regret that now. Never realised that it’s actually very cheap compared to other fishes and the nutritional value is great.

How do you eat them? I was told they are too oily.

There are a lot of variations. In the Netherlands we ate mackarel on bread or a cracker as lunch. There are a plenty ways you can make mackarel, salads, pasta's, from oven et cetera.

Some 'mackarel dishes' i like are:
- Mackarel beetroot salad
- Pasta mackarel with vegetables something like dill, zucchini, leek. You can vary.

Put it in aluminium foil in the oven and just eat the fish

like u picciridu said, oven baked never fails.

my favorite is grilled, just inconvenient and messy compared to baking

 

[JuveJay]

Fresh mackerel is great. Always look to catch some when I'm on the coast if I can. Also nice on toast with poached egg for breakfast.

we have the tradition in Southeast of Iran(Balochistan Region) and it is that we cook our fish at much lower temp than you are. It's called Balochi Fish in our region. Not sure if it is tradition or if our fish coming from warm water in Oman Sea react differently when it’s cooked.

Spoiler: Balochi Fish

how much all this cost you and is it more or less than what you normally pay
