  • Graeme cooks up one of his favourite eating fish - the humble Dab. Often served at breakfast years ago it needs little preparation, is easy to grill, and tastes great. They can be caught from boat or shore, generally worm baits or tiny strips of mackerel or squid put you in with the chance of one.

    Yes!!! Only just started this one and over the moon to see the anchor lamp. I bought one for £20 in Tony's tackle few years ago after seeing yours, he laughed trying to sell me some bloody head torch for loads of money ha! Needless to say I had the last laugh couldn't believe how good the lamp was so I bought 3 more on ebay as I was living in a shed with no electricity at the time. Thanks Graham

    Best way to cook Dabs! Agree. You are never going to catch a 5 pounder but they cook up whole and simple to remove the rack. Used to catch them in Largs Bay. Fantastic

  • @paulsegnatelli55
    @paulsegnatelli55 Před rokem +1

    Perfect! I always follow the guideline of 10mins cooking time per inch of thickness. I love cooking any fish whole bone-in. Get much more depth of flavor. Here in New England, USA we catch some pretty big sea robin(gurnard) and I love cooking them just like you did with that dab, only I'm doing it in a basket over coals on the bbq. But that cooking method works for everything from oily fish like mackerel & bluefish (taylor) to wrasse to flatfish!
    Fire- salt & oil!

    • @TAFishing
      @TAFishing  Před rokem

      Sometimes they taste better whole than being filleted,I reckon they are cooking in their own juices,which makes a difference.

  • @bigmoncrief6071
    @bigmoncrief6071 Před rokem

    Dabs are just one species on my list of fish I'd be happy to catch, but 40 odd years ago they were almost a nuisance. Cod, coalfish (where I live anyway), plaice and flounder are all red letter day catches for me.
    On the other hand, gilthead bream, red mullet and trigger fish are annual catches now which would've made the cover of the angling press in the '70s!

      The Sole would usually be rated the top eating Flatfish but think the humble Dab is up there at the top as well.

    my mother must be turning in her grave, when caught if you cut the head off all the guts come out with it, she would put the fish in a pan with some butter, we never had enough money for oil, use the tail to turn it, put it on a plate, then peel the meat off with a fork, and eat with salt and vinegar and some bread and butter, cant beat it, also a dab sarnie is to die for
