In a separate bowl mix the tomatoes, onions, cilantro, Serrano peppers and minced garlic.  Add salt and pepper mix cover and set in the refrigerator.

After the fish is finished rinse in cold water 2- 3 times.  Cover the fish with cold water and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain the fish and mix with the tomato mixture. Add more salt and pepper to your taste serve on crackers or tortilla chips and enjoy. 

 Heat your grill (gas, charcoal, or electric) to medium high.

In a bowl combine the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, cilantro  and lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon at a time until you get the flavor you like.   Brush the fish with the olive oil both sides add salt and pepper to taste. 

Grill the fish until opaque in the middle about 4 minutes per side (this is for 1 inch fillets if thicker you will need to add time). 

Transfer the fish to your serving plate and top with your sun dried tomato mixture and serve immediately.

Fish Chowder  (Makes 6 servings)

·         2 lbs of any firm fish (Dorado, Pargo, Trigger fish) cut in 1 inch cubes

·         3 cups of water

·         5 medium potatoes pealed and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

·         1 large onion (white or brown) chopped

·         1 medium poblano pepper or anaheim chilie, seeded and chopped

            (substitute a bell pepper if you don't like the spice)

·         1 cup of heavy cream (use half & half if you want to cut the calories)

·         1-3/4 tsps of salt (I like to use kosher salt)

·         1/4 tsp of freshly ground black pepper

·         1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (I like sharp but use what you like)

Bring the water and salt to a boil add the fish, cover reducing the heat to a simmer and cook about about 8-10 minutes. 

Separate the fish and set aside.

Simmer the potatoes, Onions and peppers in 1 cup of the broth until the potatoes are fork tender.

Add the remaining broth, fish, vegetables, cream and pepper.  Heat until hot (if you like it thicker mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch to 1/2 cup of warm water and add to the mixture).

Add sprinkled cheese on top and serve.

As a variation you can add canned corn or carrots or both when you add the vegetables.

Dorado Burgers

·         2 cups of cooked Dorado (leftover from other recipes or freshly cooked)

·         1/2 cup mayonnaise

·         1/2 tsp season salt

·         1/4 tsp Granulated garlic

·         1/4 tsp Freshly ground Black pepper

·         2 tbsp of finely chopped red onion

·         1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix the ingredients together form patties and grill or fry (when grilling I like to use no-stick foil on the grill).  Add cheese and serve on toasted buns with your favorite burger toppings. 

English style fish and chips

·         2- 2 1/2 lbs of firm fish (Dorado, Pargo, Snapper or Grouper) Cut into 3x5 inch pieces approximately 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick

·         1 cup of all purpose flour

·         1/2 tsp paprika

·         1/4 tsp kosher salt

·         1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

·         12 oz bottle or can of your favorite beer

 Mix the dry ingredients together slowly stir in the beer beat until smooth.

Dry the fish and dip the fish into the batter.   Place the fish a few pieces at a time into the hot oil.  Use vegetable or Canola oil for frying (if you are pan frying use a heavy pot and put enough oil in the pot to cover the fish.   Cast iron pots work well.  If using a deep fryer bring the oil up to 375 degrees.  It is very important to have the oil hot before adding the fish.   Add only 2-3 pieces of fish at a time.  The fish will turn a golden brown and begin to float.  Remove the fish and drain excess oil onto a paper towel.

 English style chips 

Place 3 medium potatoes peeled and sliced length wise 1/4 inch thick on a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 2 minutes, you can do them in batches.

Drop the potatoes into the hot oil and fry approximately 3-4 minutes then remove and drain on a paper towels.  It is important to add salt to taste at this time.

Serve the fish and chips with any condiment you like.  Some people like malt vinegar for a traditional English taste.
