Author's Notes

Serve the pickled fish cold from the refrigerator with diced cucumber, fresh green chili, crusty bread, and butter.

Use ready-filleted frozen Cape hake fillets or medallions and cook from frozen. Alternatively, should you want to use fresh hake but avoid bones, use hake fillets.

The fish will keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 6 months.

Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Fry the Hake Medallions (4.4 lb) in Olive Oil (as needed) until just cooked through. Season the fish with salt and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and set aside.
Step 2
Fry the Onions (2) in a little Olive Oil (as needed) until just cooked – you want them to still have a crunch.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine the White Wine Vinegar (2 cups) , Water (1/2 cup) , Granulated Sugar (1/3 cup) , Bay Leaves (3) , Ground Turmeric (1/2 Tbsp) , Cumin Seeds (1/2 Tbsp) , Garam Masala (1/2 Tbsp) , Whole Coriander Seeds (1/2 Tbsp) , Black Peppercorns (1/2 Tbsp) , and Salt (1/2 Tbsp) and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Step 4
Use a little of the sauce combined with the Cake Flour (1 Tbsp) to make a roux and thicken the sauce. Add the fried onions.
Step 5
Use boiling water to sterilize a few jars or one large container.
Step 6
Place the hake sections into the jars and spoon over the onions and sauce, taking care to entirely cover each piece of fish. Refrigerate the pickled fish and serve after a minimum of three days.
