I like Bass cooked the Mediterranean way, the recipe is a bit lengthy but here goes;
heat some olive oil in a pan,add a squirt of tomato paste,sundried tomato paste,garlic paste,chile paste and a pinch of dried mixed herbs,fry gently for a couple of minutes.
add skinned fillets of bass,or any other white fish and fry gently for a couple of minutes each side.
add a tin of tomatoes,stir in, then add a tin of butter beans or cannelini beans,make sure you rinse the beans off in cold water to remove the starch before adding them.
add salt then cover the pan and simmer gently on the lowest possible heat for about an hour to soften the beans.
 

It doesn't need explaining here either Pete.g, most of the boat fishers here ground their teeth on that forum. We all look forward to hearing some of your tales when you get around to it. Geoff.☺️ You made no comment about Neils  G&S dig at, but I was rather hoping that you favoured something better than the heavy metal brigade on here seem to love. Geoff.☺️

Come on wake up.

Didn't need explaining to the lads on WSF,
You boy's need educating.

Well that’s why we asked for a post all about it👍🏻

Welcome Pete, you've by now seen that the stamp of user here is a little lower than some sites however, its more fun here.
Really looking forward to your written talk on the life of a fisheries officer

Ok can do,  i retired about 5 years ago and things have changed since ,some things operational i won't be able to talk about but i can give an overview.

Pete.g - nice move. Geoff.☺️

Don't worry, if @JonC can manage to post up a pic then anyone can!

Welcome Pete, sounds like you've had a varied and extensive fishing career then! As @Saintly Fish says, go ahead and post up an intro, and share some pics of your boat on the "Show us yer Boat" thread. We do love a good boat pic here 👍

Yes but he writes in some weird alien language. Are you able to translate? 
welcome to our forum. 
please put up an intro post !

I like the sound of that Pete! Thanks for sharing 👍

Welcome Pete! Good to have you on here. Sounds like you've had an interesting career. Bet there are some good tales to be told?
Glad you like the forum. We're small but growing and the more the merrier, so feel free to spread the word 👍
You have some wonderful coastline in Cornwall. I'm more than a little bit envious! Are you N or S coast?

Thanks for the intro Pete. Most of us are just part time leisurely boat fisherman who are more than happy catching dog fish ( @Andy135 ) and the like. Nothing quite as interesting as your fishing but we love it all the same. Your very welcome here and we hope you enjoy and don’t get easily offended. 
May I ask for marketing purposes how you came across us?

Hi Pete2, welcome to the forum. Sorry about the 2, but it may help Me  - it's an age thing! Geoff.☺️

Welcome Pete, glad to hear you're retired, no need to do a runner then....🤣
Talking of Salmon, one has just been caught in the Trent at Newark!

Looks like you'll fit right in then 😉
We're a bit different to WSF on here, but in a good way 👍

Ok cool so subtle spam does work! 

No i don't get easily offended,ex Police Officer and Fisheries Officer so i have a pretty thick skin.Came across this site when i saw a reference to it on WSF.

Am based on the South coast but get up to the North coast when the Bass are there.

Found this forum yesterday and really like it, hopefully it will prove to be a very popular one. I  fish for Salmon, seatrout, trout, Bass and other sea fish and have been lucky enough to fish all over GB and Ireland ,Canada the USA,Chile and Argentina. I have my own boat an Explorer Elite and get out on it as often as the weather permits here in Cornwall.I spent over 25 years of my working life as a Fisheries Enforcement Officer with the NRA and then the EA working on the Salmon rivers of Devon and Cornwall and as a boat skipper patrolling the coast.I retired at 54 taking VERS and since then have been lucky enough to guide and host flyfishing trips to the USA and Patagonia which will hopefully kick off again once this Covid has passed.

Yes i'm a fly fisherman,Salmon,Seatrout and Trout,although the Salmon and Seatrout are not around like they used to be.
Pre- Covid i was lucky enough to guide and host fly fishing trips to Patagonia and the States for a few years but the future for that is pretty uncertain at the moment.
Also fly fish for Bass and Pollock from my boat and Pollock on the fly certainly put a bend in the rod.
As for methods etc,Sidfish has that pretty well covered.
