Vietnamese Cobbler

Vietnamese river cobbler is a easy to cook, readily available and sustainable fish.

 I've read a lot on this inter web about how people have fell ill after eating it and that its from the way they farm it...but i think that's, well, just a load of old cobblers.....

The only advice I got on this fish was 'throw it to the seagulls'.....

Tonight I pan fried the fish and served with a prawn, chorizo and tomato sauce.  On the side I had a fair sized scoop of Moroccan style couscous.



For the sauce I placed in a pan 1 tin of chopped tomatoes,, 4 cut up slices of Chorizo, 3 diced fresh tomatoes, half a blitzed onion, 1 clove of garlic (using a blender into a puree) and some Italian dried herbs.

I brought this to a simmer.

I lightly dusted the fish fillets in flour and pan fried them in olive oil for about 5 mins a side.

Just as the fish was ready I blitzed the sauce with the hand blender and added some fresh prawns (or shrimps)

The plate it up and enjoy.  Was quite a light dinner and full of goodness!



Thanks for stopping by.
