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: Phillippa Cheifitz
Serves: 4
Dietary considerations: Fat conscious / Pescatarian
Category: Easy
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
500 g fish, skinned and filleted
1 onion, finely chopped
2 T olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 t ground cumin
1 t ground coriander
1 x 400 g can tomatoes, blended
1 small fresh red chilli, chopped
1 t dried oregano
sea salt, to taste
a handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped
For the corn rice
1 T olive oil
200 g organic long-grain white rice
2 cups water
1 t dried oregano
4 corncobs
sea salt, to taste
Cooking instructions:

Cut the fish into chunks while slowly softening the onion in the heated oil. Stir in the garlic and spices, until fragrant, then add the tomato, chilli, oregano and a little salt. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until starting to reduce. Lightly salt the fish and add to the simmering sauce. Cover tightly and simmer over the lowest heat for 10 minutes, or until just cooked, but still moist. Add the coriander leaves and check seasoning.

Serve with the fresh corn rice.

To make the corn rice: Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the rice and stir. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Add the oregano and cover tightly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Slice the corn from the cobs then add to the rice. Cover and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the corn just cooked. Turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork then stir in the salt, to taste.

TASTE’s take:

Both dorado and yellowtail are good in this recipe. If you are not a fan of heat, leave out the chilli or use a larger mild chilli. Reduce the heat further by removing the seeds and membranes from the chilli.

Wine: Villiera Chenin Blanc 2007
