Here's a couple of cat fish recipes to get your taste buds going. Cat fish is sometimes called rock salmon.
These recipes would be equally good using any white fish - your catch of the day for instance.
They're both one-pot stew type recipes that are easy to cook either at home or on a camp stove. Just add some fresh crusty bread to mop up the juices and you've got an excellent meal for the family.

Cat Fish & Broccoli Stew
1 tbspn oil
1lb (450g) cat fish fillet - cut into chunks
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1lb (450g) potatoes - peeled and diced
1/2 pint (300ml) fish stock/water
1/2 pint (300ml) milk
8 oz (225g) broccoli - small florets
can sweetcorn
pepper and salt to taste
fresh chopped parsley
Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish and quickly seal the cat fish - this way, when you add it to the liquid, it won't disintegrate.
Remove with a slotted spoon and put to one side.
Fry the onion until softened, add the potatoes and just turn them over to coat.
Add the water and milk and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the broccoli and simmer a further 5 minutes.
At this point, test that the potatoes are nearly cooked - if not, give the stew another 5 minutes.
Add the sweetcorn and cat fish and simmer a further 5 minutes until the fish is cooked.
Season to taste and add the parsley.
Serve with crusty bread.
The second of my cat fish recipes is really lovely - a mixed mediterranean stew.
