Hi raiders, haven't been out on the water for some time(pre covid 19) & felt like a bit of a fish dinner tonight so had to dive into the freezer to see what I had from previous catches.
Didn't really want to make a big mess or go all out like I usually do so went for a simple fry up.
I like my S&P mix to have a bit of zing & flavour so I do a bit of a spice mix which I dry fry or roast & then grind them either in a coffee grinder of in this case the mortar & pestle.
My spices mix-
Star anise
Sichuan peppercorns
black peppercorns
White peppercorns
coriander seeds
After grinding I then add sea salt & then mix to taste with 50% tapioca & corn flour
I dip the fish/squid into some beaten egg, drain & then roll into the flour mix.
Quickly fry in small batches in sunflower oil, the fish took just about 1 & 1/2 minutes & the calamari done separately took about 30 seconds.
Just made a simple salad of watercress, coriander, pickled cucumber, capsicum, red onion, toasted sesame seeds, cashew nuts & a sweet soy ginger dressing.
And because I don't do plain I did a miso & yuzu mayonnaise as a dipping sauce.
First time trying the morwong & it was pretty nice actually.
