Cooking fish

Depends on the fish. Haddock, I usually coat with my own mixed beer batter and deep fry it. That is very traditional in the UK.
Fish such as sole, I fry quickly in butter flavoured with thyme. Salmon steaks, I would also normally fry in butter, but whole salmon, I season with dill, wrap it in foil and bake.

One of my favourite recipes is sole (although I use Megrim) spread with chopped prawns and mushrooms, rolled and poached in wine. The cooking liquid is thickened with cream and egg. Millions of calories!
 
I haven't tried it yet and I don't think I will because I don't have a barbecue although it might work in the oven.

They now sell cedar boards on which you place your salmon fillets. You wet it first and then you put the salmon on it and then you put it on the barbecue to cook.

It's supposed to enhance the flavor and I guess it does work because there will be smoke coming from the wood if you have the lid closed.
