croaker and whiting

[peacherina]

Good Evening. We are having Deep fried Croaker and whiting with basmati rice. Thats it. I'm keeping it simple tonight. OH with apple juice or grape juice.

Sounds interesting. What's croaker? Some kind of frog? Just kidding about that... but seriously what is it?

[TexasRose]

I thought maybe it was a kind of fish?

[peacherina]

Yes it is a kind of fish. It is served at a lot of soul food restaurants and some chinese restaurants. It has such a good taste to it to me. Here is a link I found with a picture of it http://www.virginiaseafood.org/consu.../11/recipe.htm

Not sure that I have ever had Croaker before. I know for sure I have had whiting. In all honestly, the whiting I had was a little too fishy for my preference.

I have not had Croaker either. Could it be baked? I not much for fried fish.

But deep frying has so much fat

[deelip]

I like that .
Its been 5 days we ate that.
Btw whats basmati rice.
I neve heard about that.

[peacherina]

Yes it can be baked. I have never had it baked but it can be baked. That is probably way less calories.

Fish aye? The first thing that came to my mind was a frog (croaker), but fish makes a lot of sense too.
