Marinated Fried Fish
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb/ 750 g bone-free fish, such as dogfish or monkfish
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 5 tbsp wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- flour
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
While this is usually made with dogfish, a kind of shark, any solid-fleshed fish, such as monkfish, is good.
Cut the fish into 1 1/2in/ 4-cm cubes, discarding any skin and bone. Put it in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix together the oil, vinegar, water, garlic, paprika, oregano, pepper and salt. Pour over the fish and mix well. Marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Then drain the fish well, dredge it in flour and fry the pieces a few at a time in hot oil until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towelling and serve hot.
Makes about 45 pieces.
