How to:

Know if the fish you're eating is sustainable

What´s the deal with red roman? Is yellowtail an endangered species? Click to find out how to check the status and origin of the fish and seafood you are using to ensure it's from the safe, sustainable list.

Note on fish on the orange lis: torange fish such as kingklip is sometimes available from Woolworths. It's important to note that although retailers may legally sell species on the orange list, Woolworths suppliers source kingklip from only hake fisheries approved by the Marine Stewardship Council so they can be sure that the fish is a non-targeted by-catch to hake. Woolworths will not sell by-catch that is targeted, overfished or from a non-accredited fishery, or if the catch method results in environmental damage.

Recipe by: Abigail Donnelly
Serves: 4
Dietary considerations: Low carb / Fat conscious / Health conscious / Pescatarian
Category: Easy / Great value / Quick
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
4 x 200 g (such as hake, santer or hottentot), scored
3 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic, cut into slivers
zest of 3 limes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
100 g butter, softened
200 g shiitake mushrooms
2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled
3 cups sunflower oil, for deep frying
600 g baby spinach, wilted
Cooking instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Place the fillets onto a baking tray and rub with 2 T olive oil, then scatter with half the garlic and zest of 1 lime. Season to taste. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through but still firm and juicy.

Mix the remaining lime zest with the softened butter and chill. In a small saucepan over a medium heat, fry the mushrooms with the remaining garlic and olive oil until glossy and cooked through. Slice the potatoes into matchstick-sized strips and deep fry in the hot sunflower oil until crisp and golden.

Serve the warm fish topped with lashings of lime butter, with the wilted spinach, garlicky mushrooms and shoestring potatoes on the side. Season to taste.

TASTE’s take:

Popeye the Sailor was onto something – spinach, with its delicate texture, alluring jade colour, minimal calories and high nutritional value, is one of the healthiest foods in the world. And, wilted, blended or dressed, there are myriad ways to enjoy it.
