Burbot recipe?

[johnschmidt]

Anyone know how to prepare a burbot so that it doesn't smell and taste like a roadkill crow? I tried to eat one once when I was a teenager, but I couldn't get past the buzzard smell, is that typical of these fish, or did I get a bad one? I was told that you have to skin them, so that is what I did, but even the dog wouldn't eat it after it was cooked, but the cats seemed to enjoy it.

Just don't do the "poor man's lobster" recipe

Cube it. Deep it in egg(with your favorite spices + dill). Then to bread crumbs.
File half busket, deep fry at 160C for 6 minutes.
Delicious!

Caution! An extraordinary amount of beer might be needed!

I personally cube mine, boil it for 2 minutes, and then switch to a pan with lots of super hot butter and a ton of garlic. Anyone who says that tastes and smells like roadkill crow is cooking/preparing it wrong.
