The story began when we went fishing out in Long Beach. Brought a few pounds of shrimps, and squids, and my breakfast floating on the ocean water from my sea sickness. We caught just about 50 or 70 pounds of fish, and not just any type of junk fish, they were Sheepheads! So as a tradition of my father and his friend, the biggest fish or two goes to the restaurant and is served family style! So here it goes.
I left out pictures of the other dishes, we only care about the fish!
Sheep head soup.
The fishes were used in different ways. Bones and scraped meats were used for the soup.
Fillets were fried and served with veggies.
Head, and belly chunks were fried in a master dough and served in a very special sauce.
Stan's trophy dish! With his unconventional way of fishing, he was able to bring in the heaviest, biggest fish that morning of fishing! He rigged his line with .......nevermind. We are keeping it a secret. Saving the 8 pounders in the ocean to ourselves.
This was a great dish, the chef promised "no bones" of the fillets pre-fried. Served with many other great ingredients like snowpeas, mushroom, carrots to complement the dish.
But this was the real deal. Served with tofu, pork slices, cilantro. Still cannot tell what is the secret in the sauce, possibly mushroom and other goodies. Everyone agreed this was the "best" dish out of this whole dinner. We didn't even need rice. Everyones' stuffed.
