How To Cook Pongee

Postby roadwarriorsvt » Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:11 pm

Yesterday fishing was real slow in the evening. Only caught 3 peacocks and this 22" pongee. I've heard they are good eating so I scaled it, cut off the fillets. My father-in-law said to rub salt & vinegar on the skin, which I did, then froze it in water in zip lock bags. Anyone know how to prep pongee for cooking? THanks.

It's a delicacy in China, so I would check out a few Chinese food restaurants to see if they have anything. Or maybe search the web focusing on Chinese food.

They are supposed to be delicious! Let us know how it goes. Aloha!

Use any white fish recipe like Mahimahi recipes. Last time I had Pongee I tempura batter fried da buggah, and it was ono. :wink:

We used to make soup with pongee. It is supposed to give you vitality when you eat it. I think the argument is that it is very high in protein.

Never had it any other way other than soup.
