BEST ​PICKLED FISH

There are a few recipes on my website but this is my favourite one.  ​

Serves 8 to 10​

* 2kg hake OR kingklip fillets, into serving portions
* oil for frying
* 4-6 onions, sliced
* 25ml curry powder
* 5ml turmeric
* 25ml brown sugar - adjust to taste, i don't like it too sweet
* 2 red chillies, seeded and chopped
* 5ml ground fresh ginger - I grate the ginger
* 125g seedless raisins, optional
* 650ml wine/white vinegar
* 150ml water
* 2 large bay leaves
* 45ml apricot jam
* salt and black pepper

Fry the fish in the oil, 3 or 4 minutes each side.  Drain on a paper towel and cool.  Sauté onions in 50ml oil. Add the rest of the ingredients except the vinegar and water.  Stir fry for about a minute.  Add vinegar and water, stirring to make a smooth thin sauce.  Add the bay leaves, jam and seasoning to taste.  Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes.  Layer fish in a deep glass or suitable dish, pour over the sauce.  Cover tightly and cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 days before serving.​​

So good!!
