Best Pickled Curry Fish for Easter tradition. Pickled curry fish is an amazing dish to have and can keep for a few days in the fridge.

This is a special recipe and brings back memories of my father, who loved to make this pickled curry fish regular. My Husband was a fisherman and we always had the freshest and best pick of fish to make it with. For a family size meal just increase the quantities as its best refrigerated and kept for a few days to eat over the Easter season. Really very delicious.

Fish

fresh fish fillets floured for fying

Traditionally pickled fish is prepared by frying a fairly meaty, firm fish (Snoek or Yellowtail are the favored fish to use but Hake or Kingklip may also be used)

How to make this dish

Season the fish with salt and dust with some flour then place in the oiled pan.

Fry on both sides until fish is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, then set aside for the sauce to be made.

Once cooked and in the sauce the fish  has to sit for at least 24 to 48 hours absorbing all the flavors of the spices and vinegar for intensity and is served as a cold dish or at room temperature.
