Looking for a Rockfish Dip Recipe

[Slayer]

Hey All,

Doing the brother-in-laws house for Thanksgiving this year. I've got some fillets in the freezer that I was hoping to use. Anybody have a good dip recipe they'd care to post?

Appreciate the assistance.

certainly sounds good. I'll keep it in the book for the next time I want some baked.

This is also not a dip, but is a great appetizer. I went to a New Years Eve party and these were a hit.

Cut the rockfish into 1" cubes
Mix Bisquick (and some crab spice for flavor) with your favorite beer to make a THIN batter
Deep fry until golden brown

Cooked Rock, leftovers or poach in boiling water. 1 lb or so
half a brick of cream cheese
half a stick of margarine
old bay to taste

Melt and mix cream cheese and margarine, mix in rock with some old bay. Spread in glass dish or pie plate, sprinkle with cheddar cheese and put in oven til bubbly. Serve with crackers.

Tastes just like crab dip

Enjoy

Here's my wife's recipe. She won an award for it from Cook's Illustrated a while back. When she makes it for our family she adds a little Texas Pete:

Ingredients
Half pound rockfish filets (smoked if preferred)
½ cup heavy cream
Dash of Tabasco
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Dash of Old Bay
1 TB lemon juice
Cream cheese
2 TB chopped fresh chives

Directions
Flake out the rockfish filet. In a food processor, add the fish and heavy cream. Essentially what you are doing here is making a fish mousse. (You can do that with just about any fish or shrimp.) Run the processor until the consistency is relatively thick. Add the Tabasco, worcestershire, Old Bay, and lemon juice to your taste. If the mousse is on the thin side, add some cream cheese a TB at a time until you get the consistency of a dip. Lastly, integrate the fresh chives (reserve some chives for garnish on top of the dip when you put it into a serving bowl)

Refrigerate until serving. (This dip will last a week in the frig, but you might have to whip it a little if the ingredients settle.)

Serve with your favorite crackers or chips.

How does smoked rockfish turn out? I've smoke plenty of bluefish and salmon on my Big Green Egg and its wonderful. I'm always looking for different ways to do rock and I nevver really thought about smoking it...

Not too good in my opinion, it dries out before it caramelizes. It's okay for dip that way, but for plain out ol' eating I think you need a more oily fish.
