Black Alaska Cod is worth it's weight in gold so I am fussy how I cook it. Try to find thick chunks . Don't buy the thin tail piece there is no flesh and it tastes over smoked. This recipe is so simple I feel silly posting it but if you haven't steamed it try it. You may make a sauce but I like it just buttered with salt & pepper
Ingredients:
3/4 lb alaska black smoked cod, skin on, bone still in
1 (355 ml) can lager beer, apprx 1 1/3 cups or 1 (355 ml) can water
1 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
salt & pepper
Directions:
1. Place the fish, skin side down in it top part of the steamer Steamer pot (like a double boiler but with an insert with holes to allow the steam to come through or a Chinese steamer basket).
2. Pour Beer/water into the bottom half.
3. Bring to a boil& steam the fish until it flakes apprx 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the filet.
4. When coked remove the skin& bones.
5. Lightly butter the flaked fish.
6. Add salt& Pepper.
