This one sounds interesting, doesn't it? If you have ever been anywhere in the Pacific Islands, you know about local people's love for any kind of seafood. It is cooked right "out of the sea", so to speak- over charred coals, with special herb marinades, on tiny skewers: the preparation is always simple and the result is delicious.
I hope I picked your interest in how special Pacific Islander-style fish dishes can taste- try this recipe to find out ;)
You are going to need:
2 medium size fish fillets
3 cups boiled yams or sweet potatoes
3/4 cup light cream
1 medium egg, beaten
3/4 cups flour
1 cup water
1 medium size onion
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
about 1/3 teaspoon black pepper (use to taste)
and a good amount of oil for deep frying
Cook fish in water, seasoned with salt and pepper for about 20 minutes or until fish flakes readily. Drain, cool and flake, but not too much so as to have some appealing texture. Beat the yams, cream, egg and a teaspoon of salt until light and fluffy, then gently stir in the fish. Check for seasoning and roll the mass into balls. Heat the oil to about 375 degrees (be careful!) and fry the balls until browned. Drain and serve hot.
Makes 4-6 servings.
