Cheap Fish Recipe -
Aboriginal Fish From Exmouth
A couple of years back we were on holidays in Exmouth at a lovely place
called the Seabreeze Resort. All of the rooms there
have access to a shared kitchen.
At the time we were
in Exmouth it was NAIDOC Week (NAIDOC stands for National Aboriginal Islander Day Observance
Committee) so there were several lovely aboriginal events we were
able to attend. We shared our kitchen with some lovely
aborigines who were very talented musically.
I was heating up an apple pie which I had bought
from one of the local shops when I noticed a sweet burning smell in
the kitchen. When I opened the oven door I was greeted with an
apple pie with very burnt edges. I was parading around showing
everyone this disastrous pie quite unaware that I had set off a
smoke alarm in the complex.
Shortly after we had two firemen arrive to check
out the rooms. Boy, there was a lot of embarrassing laughter. The crux of the story is that
these kind aborigines wanted to share their meal
with us. I tried one of their fish
dishes and was blown away by its taste. They told me
how to make it and we now have it very frequently in our
family. I have added the extra ingredient of lime
juice but if you don't have lime juice then use lemon juice
or go without. It will still be absolutely delicious.

Ingredients:
1 onion sliced very thinly
2 teaspoons of oil
600 - 700 gm (1 and 1/2 pounds) white fish fillets
1 teaspoon runny honey
I teaspoon of lime juice
Method:
Very gently cook the onion in a shallow frying pan.
The onion should be just turning a golden colour.
Don't cook them until they are brown or you will wreck the
recipe.
Place the fish fillets on top of the onions and cook for
5 minutes.
Turn the fillets over, drizzle the honey over the fillets
trying, as best as possible, to keep the honey on the fish
rather than on the surface of the pan. Sprinkle over
the lime juice and continue cooking a few more minutes until
the fish is cooked.
Notes:
The onions caramelize with the honey and make the fish so
tasty.
Food Facts:
Onions are high in energy and have good amounts of B6,
B1, and Folic acid in them. They contain chemicals
which fight free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals
cause disease and destruction in our cells. Onions
have anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties
in them. These properties are most potent when the
onion is eaten raw. Onions raise the levels of
beneficial HDL cholesterol and they lower the levels of the
bad LDL cholesterol.
Seafood contains all nine essential amino acids. The protein in
seafood is more readily broken down and absorbed than the protein in
red meats and poultry. Most nutrition researchers now say that
eating seafood once or twice a week may be beneficial in preventing
coronary heart disease. Fish is full of protein but low in calories
and low in fat, particularly saturated fat.
