PICKLE FISH MADE FOR TWO WITH FRIED HAKE
You may find it quick and easy to buy 2 pieces each of ready fried middle cut hake and if you prefer 2 fried pieces of snoek. The secret is in the pickled sauce. But of course your choice.
2 large onions cut in rings
750 ml white vinegar
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
2 level teaspoons of salt, you may use less
4 bayleaves
Some black peppercorns
2 teaspoons of Tumeric
2 table spoons of pickle fish masala or Packo Masala
1 level tablespoon of fish masala
Simmer/ boil the above for about 10 minutes and Then add below to help thicken the mixture.
Then I used just less than two table spoons cake flour and made a paste.
Pour over fried fish, wait to cool then refrigerate.
