At the butcher/traiteur/fishmonger last week, I bought two nice fillets of a different looking fish, maybe a river fish and put them in the freezer. Unfortunately, I didn’t note the name although the proprietor seemed excited about it and said the name several times.
So that’s why. Maybe a type of carp or catfish? Firm flesh and very tasty. Perfect for the teriyaki marinade.
Makes a nice lunch or dinner with some fried rice http://cookinginsens.com/2012/11/26/really-easy-fried-rice/ and spicy kimchi.
Teriyaki Marinated Fish
1 1/2 lb catfish fillets
Chinese five spice powder
Teriyaki marinade
1 tbsp sesame oil
Sprinkle the fillets with the five spice powder then marinate the fish in the teriyaki marinade for about 30 minutes.
Heat the sesame oil in a saute pan and fry the fish for about 4 minutes per side.
Beautifully spiced and cooked fish, simplicity to create a stunning meal.
Cheers

Thank you Marcus.
Could the fish be “omble chevalier” which is found in the Swiss lakes near Geneva. It’s treated as a bit of a special fish.
I honestly don’t know Roger 🙂
Reblogged this on windyprasanti33.
That looks great! You should try and get some dogfish – they call it rock salmon… it’s delicious 😀
Thank you Frugal. I’ll look for it.
Love that you added five spice to the fish. I’m sure it was delicious.
It was Karen. I would buy this fish again, whatever it was 🙂
You’re always so adventurous. This looks great.
Thank you Greg.
Mmmmmm! Mystery fish 🙂
Looks good!
Thank you Daisy 🙂
I like catfish, but haven’t had much since I lived in Georgia. Your recipe sounds great 🙂
I like catfish also. Usually deep fried 🙂
Mystery fish. I like it. We have a few of them lurking in the freezer.
Best,
Conor
I’ll be interested to see what you do with them 🙂
If they end up like the 22 month old piece of steak, ti will be the bin for them. Though I hope not. I hate waste.
Fish cakes?
Good call.
So many exotic and flavorful dishes on one plate.. catfish, 5 spice.. spicy kimchi, I’d love this!

Good luck with it Joey.
Love a good mystery – and five spice too!
Thank you Chica.
