Any one know if it's better to fry or grill sheep head? Never eaten it before. Any special recipes....

Thanks!

I've had it fried and have to admit that I don't like it because it was a little spongy. Someone told me it was because I fried it too long. I feel I fried it properly. With that said, I just as soon eat trout or flounder. Maybe some redfish.

90% of all seafood is over cooked thats the problem. When fish floats in the fryer take it out. It will continue cooking for another minute. If you like your seafood over cooked let it stay in the fryer until its a darker brown. Sheepies are wonderful fried. Correctly.

Because its flesh is mild-flavored, yet will stand up to overcooking w/o falling apart, sheepshead is my favorite fish for inclusion in a seafood gumbo. Smile

Reheat a huge pot of gumbo several times and its chunks will remain discrete.

Today, however, my pot was full of Hoppin' John. Laughing

I had a double helping of that Hoppin John today, and may try it again tomorrow. Figure I'll need all the luck I can get this year.

I must agree with Stan here. Fish is done when it turns opaque in the center. Any more cooking time than that just dries the crap out of it and can even make it tough!!! Rolling Eyes

It's opaque in the center before to long before most people take it out of the oil, off the grill or out if the oven. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING good comes from this, and can and does turn people off on fish.

It's so darn easy to pull a piece out and stick two forks in it to look at the center. Cooking time is just like salt; you can always add more if needed but can't get rid of it once added! Embarassed

Had some yesterday. Salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and saute in a small amount of HOT olive oil and butter. When finished sauteeing add some white wine, mushrooms, fresh lemon juice and zest to the pan. Cook for several minutes and pour over fillets. Light and fresh tasting.

Most fish are great fried. Grilling is more difficult for many to master. Either way, you've been told correctly, don't overlook.
