Spadefish Recipes ?

[FINNBOB]

Now that the Spade Bite is on and most folks getting their limit easily, as we did yesterday at the CLT---I need a few GOOD ways to prepare these tasty critters! Preferably not deep fried. Marinades, grilling or baking are my interests..Am not a fan of too much batter on fish. I'd rather taste the fish, too... Thanx, BOB

Pan Fried Spadefish with Sauteed Scallops

Deboned Spadefish fillets

Salt, Pepper
1/4 Lemon
Flour
Butter
Olive oil
1/2 lb. scallops, washed
2 slices smoked bacon, chopped
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/4 white cooking wine

The Rue:
Melt 4 -5 tablespoon of butter in microwave. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the butter at a time, mixing well until a light paste develops. Leftover rue can be stored in refrigerator.

Lemon Cream Sauce:
Slow cook 2 slices of bacon in a sauté pan. When bacon is done remove cooked bacon, turn heat to medium and add scallops to leftover drippings. Squeeze half of your lemon into scallops. When scallops have about one minute remaining turn heat to high and add ¼ cup white wine (this will deglaze your pan and further flavor the scallops) then remove scallops and place aside. In same deglazed pan add 1 pint of heavy whipping cream and turn on medium low. Remove Rue from refrigerator and slowly add ½ teaspoons at a time and allow cream to thicken to your desire. Now add scallops, remaining lemon and stir. Salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat to low.

Fish: (this can be done with any fish of your preference adjust cooking time to thickness of filets)

In a separate sauté pan add enough olive oil to cover 1/8” of the bottom. Turn heat to medium/medium high (when oil begins to lightly smoke add fish). Sprinkle fish with a light amount of flour and cook for four minutes (pending the thickness of the fish). Flip fish, flour sprinkle, check temperature of sauce (reheat if necessary) and cook fish until done. Remove fish from oil, place on plate, Cover with scallops and sauce
