About

This dish makes a great lunchtime snack as well as a good starter. If using it as a starter then the ingredients would be enough for about 6; cut the bases a little smaller, e.g. 15cm/6in instead of 18cm/7in. It does not have to be made with whiting — any trimmings of a flaky type fish such as cod or haddock would do equally well.
