OVERVIEW:
The whiskered catfish, though not an attractive looking creature, tastes excellent when cooked in this fashion.
INGREDIENTS:
1 catfish weighing 350g
1 tsp salt
1tsp black peppercorn crushed
2 tbsp freshly squeezed limejuice
1-cup spice paste for seafood
2 cups coconut milk
1 stalk lemon grass, bruised
PREPARATION:
Season catfish with salt, pepper and limejuice and marinate for 30 minutes. Deep fry fish over medium heat for 10 minutes until crispy.
While the fish is marinating, combine all remaining ingredients in saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until coconut milk breaks apart and sauce becomes oily and clear rather than creamy.
Pour the sauce over the fried fish and serve.
Helpful hint:
If catfish is not available, replace with any fresh whole fish or follow the same method with any boneless fish fillet.
