- 1.5 kg hake fish

Instructions
Fish
- Pat the fish dry using kitchen clean kitchen towels. If you use kitchen tissue paper, dab it quickly so no bits of paper are left on the fish.
- Season the flour with fish spice seasoning. and coat the fish (once properly dried) in the flour generously.
- Heat a non stick pan with oil and fry the fish for about 3 to minutes on each side on medium to high heat. The fish will be golden brown and crispy. Increase the heat if the fish is sautéing and not frying because we want that golden crisp skin. Place the fish on kitchen tissue paper to drain any excess oil while you make the sauce.
Sauce
- Same pan, heat the oil and cook the onions till soft before adding the garlic. Cook for 1 minute or two and add the red curry paste, Thai Spice, Fish spice, lemon juice and coconut cream.
- Simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes. Return the fish to the sauce, less than a minute, remove it from the heat and add fresh herbs and lime wedges.
Serving
- Serve with a sprinkle of fish seasoning. Best served with basmati rice.
