Parmice = Pseudopeneus prayensis = West African Goatfish

Have seen this in TESCO for a long time already but only bought it recently.

I have this habit of wikipedia-ing just about everything and I especially love to search up on these vague scientific names. And especially when I don't understand what sort of frozen fish are they selling in TESCO and they look oh-so-familiar.

When I bought this, it reminded me of the fish that Indian restaurants in Malaysia sell. All marinated in curry powder, chilli powder and all the various spices and then deep-fried to perfection! Yum! :-D So I thought maybe I could do the same with this..:-P

But I still needed to know if that was the right way of cooking for this fish and if there's any other ways to enjoy it. For this to happen, I need to know what the heck does 'parmice' means in English. Or 'Pseudopeneus prayensis'. Unfortunately this fish doesn't seem that popular in the cooking world....most search hits were about scientific cateloguing of this species....which almost guilt me.

Luckily, someone has gone thru what I had and posted it up! Ta-da! There's even a website with a video on how to cook this fish.  :-)

".....discovered they have white meat with delicate taste, as they were in a same family as red mullets. They are often eaten in curry or deep fried....."

Yay! Another item to be cooked Malaysian-style that you can find in the Czech TESCO near you!

==========================================================

I haven't been really getting the mood to experiment much recipes and then I got braces...which further dampen my spirit on what I can enjoy eating. =___= But I have kind of adjusted to it now and I figured that I will try all these recipes and eat all I love a week before I need to see my orthodontist for adjustment of the wires. :-D
