Directions
Cape Malay Pickled Fish, This South African dish keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week The fish is cooked first, and then pickled It’s served cold with a green salad and crisp rolls The source is Africhef com and it’s slightly modified , Thanks Nan for posting this recipe! I had very good results & my Mum made it too, so we compared notes on it’s authenticity!! It was delicious – not quite as I remembered it, but dishes like this don’t always travel well, mainly as I could not get hold of yellowtail fish fillets used a local meaty type of fish instead called Julienne, which is a Halibut type fish I am thrilled to have such a good recipe for pickled fish however, and I have saved it in my Fish & Seafood cookbook In the future I will change it very slightly by adding slightly less vinegar & slightly more sugar; I remember it as being a bit more on the sweet side than the sour side! Many thanks for posting it and sending me the link! Great!, This was very good ! I didn’t know that that the fish can be firmed up just by sprinkling it with salt and let it sit for 20 -25 min Thanks for the new found knowledge and a great recipe
