Ingredients

  • 8 garfish - butterflied, filleted or gutted and left whole
  • 3 Lebanese cucumbers
  • 1 eschalot
  • 2 red chillies  
  • 1 bunch of chives
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Method

For 4 people you'll need 2 garfish each - butterflied, filleted or gutted and left whole.

Prepare the cucumber by peeling 3 Lebanese cucumbers, slice into quarters lengthways and chop into small wedges. Place in a bowl with a finely sliced eschalot, 2 seeded and finely sliced red chillies and a finely chopped bunch of chives. Dress with a little extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until the garfish is ready to fry.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet and fry the garfish, skin-side first, for 20 to 25 seconds, then turn and fry for half a minute.

To serve 

Sprinkle with salt and serve with the cucumber and some of its dressing.
