What do they taste like? How do you cook them Daz?

Garfish is my favourite fish to eat in Vic tbh.

I knock fillets off, (leave bones in - they disolve as they are cooked) roll the fillets up, and push a toothpick into them, then roll them in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, chilli, etc.

Then I cook up a sauce where I melt down some anchovy fillets and garlic/diced onion, until it is saute'd and broken down, add a can of diced tomatoes and reduce until its lost its acidity. add some herbs (basil, oregano, etc)

Once the sauce is done, I shallow fry the fish in a high smoke point oil, and then remove the tooth picks and put them in the sauce over a low simmer.

I then sear off some green veg (asparagus, broccolini, etc) in some oil, butter, salt, pepper and lemon juice and serve the rolled up fillets on a bed of the sauce with a side of crunchy seared veggies.

One of my favourites.
