one of my favorite fish is albacore, chicken of the sea. i took one home yesterday from my outing on lethal and being my first time cooking it had to settle for a recipe that works for any fish: thin strips marinated in lemon, lime and chilly sauce and lfash fried.

are there any ways that bring out the best in this fish? preferred ways of cooking it? the way i did it tends to overpower any fish, they end up all tasting the same.

one way i'd like to try is thick steaks seared on both sides and edges and a bit tar tar.

Theres one from Sam mossman in the latest fishing news - it looks pretty good.

If you like those flavours CJ, you should try this on your chicken.

No exact measurements here, just guess work but it always tastes great.

� chicken pieces
� fresh lemon juice
� paprika
� butter

In a bowl add the lemon, paprika and a good amount of butter. You want the mixture to be quite thick but still more liquid. Put in the microwave and zap until you can stir the butter in. Put the chicken pieces into a plastic bag and pour in the mixture. Rub mixture into chicken and leave for atleast 30 minutes to marinate. If you want the mixture to really soak in remove the chicken skin before hand or just prick the chicken with a fork a few times. Cook in the oven as you usually would and wallaaah. I love chicken this way, it gives it a great tang.

I love all tunas cut into about one inch steaks and pan-fried.  Lay steaks on a piece of kitchen towel and lightly sprinkle with pepper and italian seasoning.  Heat up oil with a little chopped up garlic and shallots till it's sizzling then fry one side and then the other.  Tuna cooks real fast, you'll literally see it cook before your eyes.  Finish with a little soy sauce and finely sliced spring onions. 

Of course there is also sashimi, albacore is a white meat tuna and ideal if you haven't tried a raw fish dish before.
