Whitefish - help a rural boy know what to do

[gfron1]

I just came into 3 biguns and I know they're common out East, but I haven't found anyone who knows what to do with them. My guess is that this is a remedial question

If what you have is at all similar to Great Lakes whitefish then it is somewhat bland. The good news is that means you can do pretty much anything with it. I like it pan seared with a sauce Grenoble.

The label says: Neptune Smoked White Fish (white fish, salt, natural smoke) so it looks like its already cooked

Ina Garten has a recipe in her new cookbook for Whitefish salad. Good with toasted bagels( that have been cut into 3rds).

Oh that's a different animal altogether. I would flake it over top of a salad or have it with sour cream/fresh mayonnaise and capers on sliced French bread. Perhaps a little lemon juice.................

Smoked Whitefish Salad from Bagel Boss (NY area):

Whitefish Salad Perched Upon Fresh Bialy

It was de-lic-ious!!

No sour cream - just a little good quality mayo - and celery if you like it (I don't).
