Very nice fish Candy. Since she caught it ... Chief you have to clean and cook it

I can't take credit for the following but it's a pretty good recipe ...

Pasta with Striped Bass `a la Joe Dogs

1⁄2 pound striper fillets
1 pound linguine
1⁄2 cup flour
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 or 3 tablespoons finely minced garlic
1⁄2 cup dry white wine
1 stick butter
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup chopped fresh parsley

Start the linguine cooking in two quarts of boiling water. (Don’t overcook. It should be al dente.) Cut the fish into one-inch chunks and shake in a bag with a little flour. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and sauté the fish until golden brown, stirring as you go with a wooden spoon. Add the minced garlic and wine, and simmer for five minutes.

Check on the pasta. When it’s ready, drain in a colander and set aside. Add the butter to the skillet. When melted, gently stir in the salt, pepper, and parsley. Arrange the pasta on individual plates, top with the fish chunks, and pour the remaining pan sauce over all. Serve with a chewy Italian bread and a good red wine. Feeds two mobsters, three anglers, or four honest folks.
