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.
