Oats are grains that are rich in minerals and proteins but have virtually no gluten. This means that they need to be combined with wheat flour to achieve a raised bread. Oat flour is often used to add flavour and fat to wheat bread dough and also imbues it with good keeping properties.
Oats are a species of cereal grain grown for thie seed and consumable by man and beast. Horses have oats in their diet.
This fish is usually marketed headless as the head is held to be very ugly. They are found in the southern coastal waters of Australia. The head is practically half the length of the fish with a very small mouth with beak-like teeth. The smooth skin which, like the monkfish (US: angler fish), does not have normal scales, is always removed for cooking. You can see that these are likely to be deep water fish. The firm flesh has a distinctive flavour and they are a useful addition to soups.
A short, thick-bodied marine fish up to 25 cm (10 inches) long. It is found in the North Atlantic. It has an orange-red skin and delicately flavoured white flesh.
Eel pout. A relative of the cod but with the appearance of an eel, in which manner it is cooked. It is a freshwater fish with a yellowish, elongated cylindrical body, speckled with brown and covered in slime. The burbot can grow to 1 meter (3 ft) in length. In France it is particularly abundant in the lakes of Savoy. Once caught it is skinned and then prepared in the same way as a lamprey or an eel. Its oily and almost boneless flesh is very popular. However, in France, it is primarily eaten for its enormous liver which is made into pâté or it is fried in the same way as calf’s liver.
