Title: Stripers in Garlic and Onions
Post by: wb on May 13, 2015, 12:07:44 AM
I put it all together that my colleague Nick is Ed Plichta's nephew, when he dropped off a nice bag of chunks for me the other day. He regales me with tales of the Plichta brothers fishing RB at every chance. With my inability to get a keeper yet this year, you guessed it, I was elated. I think the freezer is down to 1 bag.

So I've always done a version of this and always make the same mistakes so hopefully you won't too.

Start with a big pan that you can cover and saute up about 5-6 cloves of garlic diced finely in EVO. You can use the regs but I believe the extra virgin makes a difference. When that is going good add another clove or two. Don't cut it too coarse.
Now onions 1/4"-3/8" chopped so they will reduce evenly. get it all sizzlin on Med-Hi and keep adding more til it starts to brown, but more important it covers the whole bottom of the pan when spread out thin.Add more EVO or butter if you like don't let it dry out.
Layer the striper chunks right on the sizzling mix  I try to make them portion sizes triangular so they fit in the pan nicely. Last nite we had 8 nice chunks in a big pan.

Add about 1/2 cup white wine over the top of the fish and cover. I always think it's too dry and add more wine but I forget that the fish adds alot of moisture. I don't cook too often, When bubbles bubble cook about 5min then flip some just run it but I prefer to flip.

Another 3-4 min depend on filet thickness and pull them out.

If you din't add to much liquid now the remains will reduce down on High in 5 min or so while you finish the pasta then I like to pour all that goodness over the fish and eat.

We had a sweet Riesling from Cape May with it but anything cold and crisp will do.

I've had this with Red Wine instead of the white, but Christine says the white is A1 so we go with that.

Enjoy!
