I discovered that the best days to find fresh local fish in the local market are Wednesdays and Fridays. Yes, I live in the port city yet it is not that easy to find a fresh local fish if you don't have an insider information. Putting flavour and freshened aside; I support local food as I want local businesses to thrive, local food is more economically sustainable, and also local fish is usually much cheaper than any kind of "travelling" fish. Cost of today's dinner for 3 people came to about $7 total; that includes everything you see on the plate times three.
Serves: 3
Ingredients:
1 large fillet of fresh hake, cut into 3 pieces
1 small fennel
Juice from 0.5 lemon
5 tbsp butter
5 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper
1. Melt 4 tbsp butter with pressed garlic on a gas mark 2.8, cook for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add fennel cut into thinner stripes, cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add lemon juice and cook for further 15 minutes.
4. In the other pan melt butter and place hake pieces. Add salt and pepper as desired. Cover and cook on a gas mark 2.8 for 10 minutes or until fish looks done. There is no need to turn.
5. Serve hake pieces with fennel garlic lemon butter on top.
6. Enjoy!
