Ingredients

•2 lb yellowtail, scaled and filleted, skin left on

•5 cloves garlic

•2 large onions

•1 cup grape vinegar

•½ cup water

•½ cup golden brown sugar

•8 peppercorns

•4 cloves

•4 allspice berries

•2 bay leaves

•1 Tbsp masala (curry powder)

•2 tsp cumin, ground

•2 tsp coriander, ground

•1 tsp turmeric

•coarse salt, as needed

•oil, as needed for frying

Directions

Firm up the flesh of the fish, by sprinkling coarse salt on both sides of the fillet and letting it stand in a glass bowl for 20 to 25 minutes.

Thoroughly rinse the fillet under running water. Pat it dry with a paper towel.

Cut the fish into serving portions leaving the skin attached.

Meanwhile (while you leave your fish to firm), Roughly chop the garlic

Peel and slice the onions into rings.

Heat oil in a frying pan, fry the fish until cooked through.

Place the rest of the ingredients in a large pot, bring to the boil, stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves, and does not burn on the bottom of the pot.

Then simmer for approximately 8 minutes until the onions are cooked but still crisp.

Layer the pieces of fish, the sauce and onions alternately in a ceramic or glass serving-dish.

Ensure that the last layer of fish is covered with sauce.

Leave to cool and then refrigerate.

Will keep for a week in the fridge.

Pickled Fish is generally served with green salad and crisp rolls.

Great post, I'm a spice girl so really appreciate all the spices in this dish.

Thank you invisiblechef, I actually do a milder version as this is too spicy for me, but both are equally delicious and fulfilling and I so wanted to share a Cape Malay dish, their food is lovely and full of tantilizing flavours! Hopefully I can find some more recipes and I will get permission to post them here. If I need to nibble this is one of my snacks and I will eat a piece of fish,[but of course,the milder one!! :o)].
