Seafood Stew ala Parkside in Stinson Beach
I usually start with about 4oz rock fish per person plus 2 mussels, 2 clams, 2 shrimp. If you have a chunk of Dungeness crab or scallops, add. This is the best way to use rock fish, in my opinion.
Steamed whole Rockfish
Steaming your fish whole is a fantastic way to get the most out of it. You’ll be amazed at how much meat you can get from the nooks and crannies, and this tasty Asian recipe is easy and sure to impress. Dressed up with ginger and cilantro, your rockfish never looked so good! (note: you can also do this with fillets)
Rockin’ Rockfish Cakes
These fish cakes are another fun and easy way to enjoy fresh rockfish. Perfect with a crisp glass of white wine or a nice cold beer, whip these bad boys up and drizzle on some sauce for a celebration of our local bounty (and the end of the work day!)
Chilipepper rockfish tacos & Mexican slaw
This firm white fillet stands up wonderfully to a variety of cooking methods. It’s incredibly versatile so feel free to get creative. My favorite thing to do is fresh fish tacos with Mexican slaw. Let’s get chopping!
Poached Fish with Tomato and Saffron
Great for rockfish, lingcod, halibut, cook at slow simmer and enjoy! Serves 4.
Beer Battered Monkeyface eel (or calamari! Or any fillet really...)
Fried monkeyfacee eel or any fish really, with your favorite beverage!
Curry lingcod
CSF member Harvey Steiman: “I’ve been using a few tablespoons of curry sauces from takeout dishes by our favorite local Indian restaurant to enrich sauces for Sea Forager’s fish, to great effect. Here’s the latest, made with ling cod and a few tablespoons of sauce from madras curry chicken. The spiciness of the curry sauce is muted by the other ingredients.”
Mike Chin's Convict Chowder (subscriber recipe!)
Here is a great and easy recipe for rockfish from our friend and Sea Forager Seafood enthusiast Mike Chin.
"We made a nice chowder out of the barber poles, the flesh had a nice resiliency."
Lingcod Tapenade Packages
My favorite way of cooking lingcod is by topping it with tapenade and baking it in foil. It’s salty and delicious and the juices are so good on rice or potatoes - oh my god my mouth is watering just thinking about it. You can go to town and make your own tapenade or you can buy a respectable jar of it and I will not judge you!
