About

This dish is best served at room temperature, preferably after marinating it for a day or two in the fridge, with a chunk of bread. It makes a substantial starter or can be served at the centre of a light meal. Small whole fish are also good here: red mullet, sardines or small mackerel, scaled and gutted. We would like to thank Danielle Postma for this recipe.
