A Cádiz-style fried marinated fish tapa, also called bienmesabe, flavoured with sherry vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin and paprika.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 45 min

Ingredients

  • Dogfish or firm white fish – 700 g, in cubes
  • Sherry vinegar – 200 ml
  • Water – 200 ml
  • Garlic cloves – 3, crushed
  • Dried oregano – 1 tbsp
  • Ground cumin – 1 tsp
  • Sweet paprika – 1 tsp
  • Bay leaf – 1
  • Coarse salt – 1 tbsp
  • Flour – 150 g
  • Olive oil – for frying
  • Lemon wedges – to serve

Method

STEP 1
Mix the vinegar, water, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, bay leaf and salt in a non-reactive bowl.

STEP 2
Add the fish cubes and turn them so every piece is covered. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours; the marinade should season the fish, not cook it completely.

STEP 3
Drain the fish and pat it very dry. If it is too wet, the flour will clump and the fish will not crisp.

STEP 4
Coat the fish lightly in flour and shake off the excess. Fry in hot olive oil in small batches until golden.

STEP 5
Drain briefly and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
