Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous andbony fish, as well as various extinct related groups. Because the term is defined negatively, and excludes the tetrapods (i.e., the amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) which descend from within the same ancestry, it is paraphyletic. The traditional term pisces (also ichthyes) is considered a typological, but not a phylogeneticclassification.</div></b></span></b></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Most fish are "cold-blooded", or ectothermic, allowing their body temperatures to vary as ambient temperatures change. Fish are abundant in most bodies of water. They can be found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) to the abyssal and even hadal depths of the deepest oceans (e.g.,gulpers and anglerfish). At 31,900 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other class of vertebrates.</b></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Fish, especially as food, are an important resource worldwide. Commercial and subsistence fishers hunt fish in wild fisheries (see fishing) or farm them in ponds or in cages in the ocean (see aquaculture). They are also caught by recreational fishers, kept as pets, raised by fishkeepers, and exhibited in public aquaria. Fish have had a role in culture through the ages, serving as deities, religious symbols, and as the subjects of art, books and movies.</b></span></div></div>AmjethKhanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17014590693537158447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246197193005471090.post-49575919636894970302011-05-27T23:11:00.001-07:002011-05-27T23:14:58.345-07:00Cuts of Fish<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"></span><br />

They aren't battered, which I find allows for more of the fresh taste of the fish, spices, and herbs to come through.

Add 2-3 tsp. more brown sugar, as needed, OR up to 1/2 cup more orange juice (if the juice is sweet). If the soup is too spicy, add up to 1/2 cup coconut milk (or 1/2 cup more stock).

In Thailand, small to medium whole fish are used for this dish, so I chose a few rainbow trout, which turned out perfectly - the taste was just as I remember it from the beaches of Thailand. Simply marinate the fish in fish sauce, then quickly fry up or barbecue. Pour a special Thai sauce overtop, and serve immediately.

Place on a cutting board. Using a sharp, serrated knife, and holding the fish firmly in front of you, make 3-4 cuts on each side of the fish. This allows the marinade and sauce to penetrate, and also makes the fish easier to eat once cooked. (For an example, see cuts in the photo of the finished dish on this page)</li>

What you want is a balance of flavors - sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Add more sugar if too sour, and more fish sauce if not salty enough. If not spicy enough, add more fresh chili or chili sauce. If too spicy, not to worry - once the sauce is poured over the fish, it will be less hot.</li>

Thicker or larger fish may need extra grilling time.</li>
</ul>If Frying the Fish: Dredge fish with flour to coat (regular white flour or rice flour can be used). Pour 1-2 cups canola (or other low-smoke oil) into a wok or large frying pan. The oil should be at least 1 inch deep.<div style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"></div><ul style="font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration: inherit; z-index: 0;"><li style="font-style: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">Heat oil over medium-high heat until you see bubbles forming on the bottom of the pan (or the oil begins to "snake" slightly along the bottom of the pan).Frying Tip: If you're unsure whether oil is hot enough, simply drop in a small cube of bread. If it sizzles and cooks, it's ready. If the oil "pop" or smacks, it's too hot (reduce heat to medium).</li>
<li style="font-style: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">Carefully slide or place fish in the oil, standing back in case the oil splatters. Turn down the heat to medium. Allow the fish to fry undisturbed (without moving it or turning it) for at least 3 minutes, or skin will come off.</li>
<li style="font-style: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 18px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">Fry the fish 3-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness of fish), or until outer skin/flesh has turned a light golden-brown and flesh inside the cuts has turned white and opaque.</li>

Since I enjoy both types, here I've created a fish cake recipe that's closer to what you might find at one of our North American restaurants (for authentic Thai fish cakes, see my link below). The cakes are crusted on the outside with a crispy coating, while the inside is moist and as delicious as you can imagine (very similar to crab cakes)! Great to serve company, or to make as a special meal any night of the week.

On each side of the fish, make three diagonal cuts 2 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch deep.<br />
2. Stir the marinade ingredients in a small bowl, and spoon it over the fish, making sure it seeps into the cuts. Let the fish stand in the marinade, uncovered, at room temperature, for 1 hour.<br />
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
4. Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small skillet, and saute the sesame seeds until golden, 1 minute. Stir in the ginger and garlic; cook 1 minute. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, cornstarch and water; stir until smooth. Stir this into the butter mixture, and heat to a simmer, stirring. Cook until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Set aside and keep warm.<br />
5. Arrange the fish in a baking pan, and bake until it flakes easily, about 15 minutes.<br />
6. Stir any accumulated pan juices and the chopped scallions into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the fish or serve alongside.<br />

<br />
To make the aioli, combine the first six ingredients - the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, minced ginger, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt - in a bowl and mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the patties and cover and refrigerate the remainder until serving.<br />
<br />
To make the glaze, combine the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small, heavy fire-proof saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon Sauvignon Blanc in a small bowl until smooth and add to the soy mixture. Place on the grill rack and stir the mixture until it boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, sip the glass of Sauvignon Blanc, saving the remainder for grilling. Set the glaze aside.<br />
<br />
To make the patties, combine the 2 tablespoons aioli with the egg, sour cream, lime juice, and chile sauce (ie. the aioli plus ingredients 12 through 15) in a large bowl and whisk to blend well. Add the salmon, onion, mint, bread crumbs, and salt. Handling the salmon as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Coat your hands with vegetable oil and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.<br />
<br />
When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Recommence sipping the glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Turn the patties and brush the cooked side with soy glaze. Cook, turning and brushing frequently with the glaze, just until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes longer. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.<br />
<br />
To assemble the burgers, top each bun bottom with an equal portion of the cucumber strips, a patty, and an equal portion of the aioli. Add the bun tops and serve.<br />
<br />
This Salmon burger recipe makes 4 burgers<br />

Blanch the snow peas in boiling water until they turn bright green. Plunge briefly in cold water. Drain thoroughly. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into cubes.<br />

Heat the oil to between 360 and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the marinated fish cubes. Deep-fry until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.<br />

Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Add the ginger and green onion and stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the snow peas. Stir fry for a minute and add the red bell peppers.<br />

Push the vegetables up to the sides of the wok and add the sauce in the middle. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch and water mixture, stirring to thicken.

Cut the fish into bite-sized cubes. Mix the fish with the marinade and marinate for 25 minutes.<br />
While the fish is marinating, prepare the sauce and vegetables. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the stem and seeds, and cut into cubes. Reconstitute the dried black mushrooms by soaking in warm water until softened (20 - 30 minutes). Remove the mushrooms, squeeze dry, and slice. Strain the mushroom soaking broth and save 1/4 cup. Peel and slice the carrots on the diagonal.<br />
In a small bowl, combine the strained mushroom soaking liquid, sugar, sesame oil and salt and pepper. Set aside. In another small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside.<br />
Heat the wok and add 1 cup oil. When the oil is hot, poach the fish in the hot oil for 1 minute until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Drain all but 2 tablespoons from the wok.<br />
Add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the carrots. Stir-fry briefly, then add the red bell pepper cubes. Add the mushrooms.<br />
Add the sauce into the middle of the wok. Turn up the heat and add the cornstarch/water mixture, stirring quickly to thicken. Add the fish back into the pan. Stir in the green onion. Add a bit of sesame oil if desired. Mix everything through and serve hot.<br />
