Wipers do not have pin bones.
I like to cook it with the poor man’s lobster recipe for halibut. Cut it into pieces and boil it in sugar water. Once it’s done fry it in butter, lemon pepper, lemon juice, paprika, tarragon and garlic powder for flavor. It’s delicious
I totally don’t know what people are doing wrong to make wiper “not” taste good??
Totally baffles me ? And complaints about boney ? When filleted and trimmed pretty much like other fish, boneless ( other than trim the red meat is important to do) it’s firm white fish, that from many many people I have served it to and friends and family have eaten, and I eat often and live it, it gets rave reviews???!!!
I did try Dubobs recommended stew. I Followed recipe as guideline, but used things I had in fridge so I deviated a little but I’m sure it’s great exactly like written! It was excellent! My wife loved it and said it should be something we do for a change quite often! I’ll post a thread on it , shortly.
I understand, but this is a salt water rockfish. Wipers do not have pin bones.
Wipers are fun to catch, but are not high on most peoples list of edible fish species. However, I found a recipe that makes for a very good tasting fish stew that I think would be perfect for wiper meat. The recipe names 3 different flakey, solid, white meat fish, but I think wiper would substitute nicely after the nasty blood line just under the skin is removed. This recipe was developed for an Instant Pot and since I have one, I tried it. It is one the very best recipes I’ve tried that uses fish as the meat. My first batch was made with store bought tilapia. I am going to make my second batch with wiper.
Here is a link to the recipe. Give it a go and let the board know what you think about it.
