0.57 Euro - Scabbard Fish Fillet

The "scabbard" is the black-skinned scabbard fish. Cut into portions and season with garlic, bay, salt, and pepper, adding, after a while, tomato and vinegar. After marinating for long enough, the pieces are dipped in flour and friend in olive oil. Drain well after frying. Take the frying pan off the heat and add the marinade to the olive oil used to fry the fish. Then back to the heat until it boils. Strain the sauce and pour over the fish. Accompany with boiled potatoes or fried corncakes.
