FISH SALAD:
Cooking time – 10 minutes
You will need:
- 1-1¼lb white fish
- 1-2 hard boiled eggs
- A few shrimps of prawns to garnish (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- 100 gms chopped cucumber
- 1 tblspn vinegar or lemon juice
METHOD
- The most suitable fish for a salad are cod, hake, halibut, skate (particularly good),
turbot or fresh haddock. Flat fish such as plaice and whiting are rather unsuitable, for
they do not flake easily.
- Put the fish in a steamer, add a good sprinkling of salt and pepper and cook over a pan
of boiling water until the fish comes away from the bones and seems very soft. The time
required varies according to the thickness of the fish, but test after about 10 minutes,
if you do not possess a steamer, then cook in about ½ pint water, with seasoning.
- Meanwhile soak cucumber for about 30
minutes in the lemon juice or vinegar.
- When fish is cold, combine with salad dressing,
cucumber and chopped egg white.
- Pile on a bed of lettuce, decorate with the chopped
egg yolk and for special occasions garnish
with a few shrimps or prawns.
