Stripers for dinner

[Detour66]

I have heard mix reviews on how good stripers are for table fare. Some say they are great. Others say NG. What is your opinion on this. And as a follow up how do you like to cook them. Thanks

I like them so yes great. I keep it simple broiled or grilled with butter and old bay...Charlie

Smaller ones are better, it's not very fishy, some love making fish cakes out of them, some broil and if you plan on grilling, leave the skin on since it holds the meat together while grilling and you can separate it from the skin easily once it's cooked.

Be sure to check our recipe section further down on the forum too.

I saute them in olive oil on a cast iron grill. Leave skin on and do not flip them.

Anyone who does not like striper has probably not had it cooked right. It's a meaty tasting fish that doesn't taste oily, IMO. I always trim out the red bloodline on the skin side of the filet. I've made it sauted with buerre blanc sauce, grilled with simple lemon butter and Old Bay, or blackened in a pan. The only way I wouldn't cook it is deep fried.

I like it certain ways. Had it last week sauteed the fish first, then put over linguine with a garlic/lemon/caper/parsley/white wine sauce. Grated cheese and hot pepper on top to finish. Fish cakes are good also.

Look on Google for Martha Stewart grilled striped bass.

It's great on the grill wrapped in bacon. Low flame to avoid flare-up's. Ditto on removing the red lateral line.

Cut in nice size , say 8 or 10oz filet, in a gallon zip lock bag crumble up salt and vinegar potato chips, a little old bay, crumble to a nice fine mixture. Brush some mayo on both sides of filet then dredge in mixture, bake 20 min, sounds crazy but it's aswsome

Great for Ceviche especially the larger fish, fillet firm easy to cut into bite size cubes. Bon Appetite!

Last night my wife put together baked striped bass with a sauce of tomatoes onions and olives, paired with stir-fried broccoli. She made up the dish on the spot. It turned out to be delicious.
She removed all of the brown/red meat before cooking and said that the discarded meat smelled very fishy. Removing the red meat is key to good taste.
By the way, my wife says that she prefers Striped Bass to Fluke and Sea Bass as long as the striped bass is fresh. The striped bass tend to go bad more quickly but fresh it has more taste and a texture with big flakes. .
