Preparation & Cooking

Fish Bites

Place the Sea Harvest Hake Medallions in a mixing bowl with the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder and lemon zest. Mix well to coat.

Place the flour in one bowl and the beaten eggs in another. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl and season with salt and black pepper.

Coat the hake medallions in the flour, then dip into the egg and coat in the breadcrumbs. For an extra crisp coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb step.

Heat the oil in a small pot to 170–180°C.

Fry the hake medallions in batches for 6–8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pot. Drain on paper towel.

Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise

Place the mayonnaise, roasted garlic and lemon juice in a food processor.

Blend until smooth and season with salt and black pepper.

To Serve

Arrange the fish bites and skinny fries on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped chives and lemon wedges. Serve the roasted garlic mayonnaise on the side.
