In fact, we are already fully into the blue fish season, which begins in April and ends in August.
Mackerels, bonito del Norte, sea bass
(which is curiously considered white fish until it enters the rutting season, when it accumulates so much fat that it is considered blue fish),
red tuna, conger eel,
anchovies, sardines
... Fresco is the best of the year from late spring to late summer, and offers us an almost infinite source of gastronomic (and healthy) pleasures.
And there are many ways to cook them as well, no matter how delicious they are grilled or fried.
Here are three very different ideas with sardines, mackerel and conger eel.
Tangier-style baked sardines
Ingredients
15 small clean sardines.
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon flake salt
1 hit of pepper
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 red bell pepper cut into strips
Elaboration
We preheat the oven to
200 degrees.
In a bowl, mix the oil well with the minced garlic, the lime juice, the pepper and the parsley.
We salt
the sardines.
In a flat glass dish we place
baking paper
and on it the sardines, one next to the other.
On the sardines we pour the mixture that we made previously.
We put in the oven for
15 minutes.
Before turning off we check that the sardines are done.
They should not bleed and the skin should peel off easily.
We serve from the same source.
Chamberlain conger
(Extracted from 'Kitchen for the poor', by Alfredo Juderías)
Ingredients
1/2 k of eel clean and cut into pieces
1/2 glass of olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 glass of white wine
1/2 glass of water
1 vinegar thimble
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon minced spearmint
1 level teaspoon of hot paprika
Salt
Elaboration
The olive oil is heated in a frying pan and when it is ready we put the pieces of conger eel.
They are turned until they have a light golden hue, they are removed with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Put the finely chopped onion and sliced garlic in the remaining oil until
the onion softens.
Then the wine, water and vinegar are added.
Season with parsley, bay leaf, mint, paprika and salt and cook for about
15 minutes.
After that time, we add the fish and stir well so that it is soaked.
If there is little liquid left,
add half more glass of wine and half more water.
SALT MASSAGE WITH GINGER AND MARINATED RADISH

Cut it into slices about
2 cm thick.
Put the slices in salt for at least
6 hours.
Rinse the slices and desalt them for
40 minutes
in cold water.
Change the water, add half the vinegar and continue desalting for another
20 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the radish and cut it lengthwise into thin slices.
