My Fish Cooking Idea

I had been watching a lot of YouTube videos lately ranging from hiking from the wilderness to cooking many foods. Sometimes I just wonder if I can be able to do some baking in an oven made of mud and hay, the type that 18th century people use where they fashion an oven like an igloo then fire it up with wood inside, afterwhich they would things inside they want to bake like breads and even beans with molasses.

Sometimes I would contemplate in making a ground oven where I would dig a hole in the ground, put rocks around it, fore it up to heat the rocks. Then after that I would then put something I would have to cook overnight like a whole pig or chicken, of course wrapped in banana leaves and aromatic herbs and vegetables that will impart a nice flavor to the meat as it slowly cooks. So after placing a wrapped up dish in there, it will have to be covered with some leaves and soil then left overnight to cook.

The tricky part in ground oven cooking is to make a hole in a dry earth or soil so that moisture will not kill the heat from the hot rocks that is used to cook the food, otherwise it will just cool slowly affecting the cooking process. Also, we have to use larger rocks as they hold much heat longer too. We can never overdo the application of heated rocks, they will just make the meat more tender because of an extended cooking time with more heat.

There is this thing I like to do in our fish dishes. We normally cook fish whole, ungutted with head and bones plus the fins too. Well it got into me that the bones can be tenderized by cooking the fish in the pressure cooker. The plan is to precook the fish by frying it which will be dependent on the recipe then cooking it again in the pressure cooker which can make the whole fish bones and all fit to be eaten, it will also give us extra calcium for the bones. I think this idea will make my fish eating experience even better and will not make me worry about a bone accidentally stabbing my mouth and I will now just have to talk about with my parents.
