  1. PAPRIKA-CRUMB FISH

    Pat the hake dry with paper towel. Cut into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, combine the flour with 20ml of milk and 10ml of water. In a separate bowl, season the paprika crumb. Coat the fish pieces in the flour mix first and then in the crumb. Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.

  2. GREEN AIOLI

    In a blender, blitz together ½ the chopped coriander, ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), the grated garlic, the mayo, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  3. TOASTED ROTI

    Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast each roti until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds.

  4. CHARRED PINEAPPLE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pineapple pieces until charred and caramelised, 2-3 minutes.

  5. DELISH FISH

    Smear the rotis with the green aioli. Top with the caramelised pineapple, the fried fish, and the sliced pickled onions. Garnish with the remaining coriander and chilli.
