Today's theme is Smelly.
Presenting the cute looking Black Pomfret, with protruding tongue and tiny spiking teeth (which resembles aliens). Yeah, I sort of "played" with the fish for few seconds before handling and cutting it without mercy. One thing I dislike is the distinctive unbearable fishy smell when clearing the fish gill, stomach and intestines etc. 101% smelly, and it stinks. *Yucks* But the consoling part is.. the black pomfret is extremely yummy when deep fried ;)
Reminds me of 'ham yue'... and of cos now when I say 'ham yue', I remember SOMEONE's BLACK shoe...
ReplyDeleteHey, THAT shoe could be a great photo for this "Smelly" theme hor? :D
feesh where got smelly? when steamed with "choong" and garlic... waaaa, so nice to eat!
ReplyDeleteangel,
ReplyDeleteKkakakka... ham yue ham yue..
Wah... can imagine the smell when frying salted fish.. The whole kitchen stinks !! :P
Someone's black shoe? Siapa punya black shoe woh.. *Thinking thinking*
Kkakakkaa.. u take picture of that black shoe and posted up, deal? :P
may,
Kkkkkk... Wah.. u made me feel like eating steamed fish pulak. I still have one white pomfret in the fridge. Gotta steam it with lotsa garlic, ginger and sliced mushroom.
Syioknya... :D
Yummy!!! Wear those nose plug :p Or hold ur breath when beh tahan the smell ;p But I think fish are still ok... There could be worse scents coming from other types of food!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!!
narrowband,
ReplyDeletehahaha.. i can tahan the smell lah :P Exaggerate a bit mah. The smell is better than those stale blood or vomitus or the cloudy urine (due to bladder outlet obstruction) or the stagnant hard stool (due to intestinal obstruction) or malaena. LOLOL.
Another stinko food is when frying the salted fish. Walao.. the whole house will stink, but the smell is bearable lah :P
i thought that picture was rather cute :P especially with the tongue coming out.
ReplyDeleteyeah fishy smell is at times really smelly but it's definitely delicious :P
i am just curious, i thought the fish would have been dead by the time it's brought back from the market ? no?

satkuru,
ReplyDeleteyeah, i like the photo too and i think it was kinda cute. Yeah, the fish was dead. I purposely open the mouth to protrude the tongue. That's why i mentioned I sort of "played" with the fish for few seconds. Hehehhe...
LB,
I can't believe i played hundreds of RPS with u today. Tonight I will dream of scissor. Hahhahhaa..
*Rock*
*Fish*
Err.. no fish in RPS :P
Hi Dr Chen,
ReplyDeleteYou did not get the fishmonger to gut the fish for you? Or did you purposely bring the whole fish home so that you can 'play' with it and then make it pose for you and then you operate it? hahahahaa...
nyonya pg,
ReplyDeleteHehhee.. Not all the fish mongers provide such service leh.
At times I bought the fishes from Tesco and since the waiting queue was long, so i opt to clean it myself. Hahhaa, lazy to wait mah :P Yeah, lately i do most of my marketing in Tesco supermarket, including buying vege, chicken, fishes and meat besides the groceries. Can get almost everything under one roof :)
OH yes you are right very smelly, but oh so nice to eat. Enjoy your weekend.

Lovely photograph. Is there much flesh after all the preparation. How big do they get?
ReplyDeleteIs that fish tounge? I've never seen fish touge before LOL
ReplyDeleteMust put a lot of lime juice to get rid the smell ;)
Aaarrrggh!!! Murderer!! Murderer!! Heeheee (= Yes, I agree with you that the smell can be 101% smelly. That's why, the kitchen is my self-claimed forbidden area (= hehehee......
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit and Selama Hari Raya to you. Cheers!!
**poke poke** **jot down** Body hard, fishy smell, eyes showed death within the last 3 hours, tongue out means it was strangled to death... Suspect? Should still have fishy smelly fingers with some small scales still stuck on them... ***looking around the room to find the murderer*** haha
ReplyDeleteWell...Deep fried black pomfret topped with garlic oyster sauce or spicy thai style with cili padi and onions aresurely good.. Give me a call when you are serving that next.. :P
I smell something really fishy here. :D
ReplyDeleteI am sure I'll prefer the fried version of the fish! This one looks a little scary!! :)
ReplyDeletecolin,
ReplyDeleteThanks. The black pomfret was quite fleshy, weighing approx 500 gm. And there was not much spikes or fish bones :)
selba,
yes, that's the lovely fish tongue.
Yep, either a lot of lime juice or ginger can do the trick. I love eating the deep fried black pompret :D
pelfy,
Hahahhha... the kitchen is declared as forbidden area? Then i presume u didn't place the fridge inside the kitchen compound liao :D
Happy Raya to u too :)
criz lai,
ReplyDeleteHehehe... Criz is busy performing post mortem and autopsy on the poor fish ah? :D
I dun have any more black pomphret but still have one white pomphret in the fridge. Will steam that together with garlic and ginger and mushroom later on ;)
lynn,

I prefer the fried version too. At least it's not smelly. LOL
my student's parents are fishmongers, so you can imagine whenever they pay school fees, how the cash stinks the whole drawer.
