Fresh Pan Roasted Wild Sea Bass Served with Seared Scallops, Wok fried Savoy with Fennel & Bacon & Butter Steamed Baby Potatoes.
Once they have been shucked scallops can be enjoyed pan fried, steamed or poached - Why not give the following Fresh Pan Roasted Wild Sea Bass Served with Seared Scallops, Wok fried Savoy with Fennel & Bacon & Butter Steamed Baby Potatoes recipe a try yourself? Fresh Pan Roasted Wild Sea Bass recipe Served with Seared Scallops, Wok fried Savoy with Fennel & Bacon & Butter Steamed Baby Potatoes. This dish has changed over the years. As knowledge grows, so does original dishes and this is no exception. I have chosen to post this in support of The Fish fight and all the good they are doing. The French term “Fruits de Mare” (Fruits of the Sea) sums up a Cornucopia of varieties out there, and this is true in every sense. Therefore, by being a little adventurous and ditching the childhood resilience to traditional fish and allowing yourself to be versatile, you will find that there is a world of great produce on offer.The humble Skate wing is one of my tips for making a huge comeback as well as Sardines, Hake & Whitebait. Shark steaks might even increase on Gastro Pub menus as an alternative to the Tuna steak. I am as I write, looking at creating new potted fish recipes and even a Mackerel inspired filling for Spuds and Sandwiches to replace the Pub favourite Tuna with Sweetcorn & Mayonnaise.Anyway, I hope you enjoy the Recipe and keep on fighting the fight. Lobby your local MP, and support a revolutionary action.
