Fish
Linda's Fish Soup - Linda Pile
For 2/3 people.
You could add white wine and other sorts of fish/shellfish but it might be a bit rich with too much wine, we didn't bother, and it tasted great without.

1 large salmon steak
2 fillets of white fish - pollack/coley/cod
4 oz prawns or mussels (shelled)
2 onions finely chopped
nutmeg/salt/pepper/bay leaf.
3 medium potatoes cubed
1 large carrot julienned
1 tbsp curry powder or home made version
1 fish stock cube (yeast free if poss, but Ashton says some
yeast is OK) or
Thai fish sauce to taste
1 tbsp tomato puree
olive or sunflower oil
2 pints ish of real fish stock (Tescos fish counter will give you
the heads and
bones if you buy a whole salmon - reduced this week!)
Method
Sweat the onions/carrot/potatoes in oil for 10 minutes and add
all spices then
the tomato puree. Put in fish stock and stock cube.

Pan Fried Skate Wing on a bed of Fennel Flambed with Sambuca - Graham Child
Ingredients: (Serves 2)
Wings, 2 off approx 10/12 ozs each
2 Heads of Fennel
2 Cloves Garlic
Good shot Sambucca
Tops of Fennel for Garnish
Method
A very simple and quick dish.

Have fish monger skin the skate and make sure it is not one of
those 'stupid'
palm of hand fish that should not have been taken.
Remove base & outside layer off Fennel. Seperate layers and
cut down the
lengh into 'jullien' (strips about 1/8" wide).
Bring large pot water to boil and plunge fennel into it when at a
rolling boil,
bring to simmer and cook for approx 5/10 mins testing until 'al
dente'. Strain
and plunge into cold water and leave under running water to
cool, to stop
cooking.
Strain and Dry on kitchen towel.

Heat a large frying pan and add a little Virgin Olive Oil, add
wings when hot
and when almost cooked through, add fennel and 2 cloves of
finely chopped
garlic, add 'good slug' (approx 5 tablesppons) of sambucca.
Tilt pan to one
side and ignite, when flames subside, plate fennel, place skate
onto it and
share pan juices. Garnish with green tops off fennel. Have
some fish stock to
hand in case you have insufficient pan juices.

Serve with New Potatoes, Broccoli and carrot.
Fennel is a great vegetable, use sparingly in fish stocks for
extra flafour, or
par boil for 5 mins and roast with Jean Crosbie's Mediteranian
Veg recipe. A
lovely flavour with fish, this is one of my favourites - Graham
Child
