Thai Style Fish Burger


Hannah whipped up these amazing fish burgers recently...and they were unbelievably good!

She processed some bass fillets with coriander, ginger, soy, five spice...and then mixed with bread crumbs I think. While I was grilling the patties, which quickly turned into beautiful round fish cakes, hannah whipped up a tangy peanut sauce. We built the burgers on toasted turkish buns with coriander, the nutty sauce, carrots, coriander and lettuce.

This is a huge call, but I think it was one of the best burgers I have ever had.

Salt and Pepper Squid

How good is salt and pepper squid...sadly so many places advertise salt and pepper squid...and really it's just the usual frozen fried calamari that's been floating around for years...so you have to be pretty discerning these days to get a good one...but when you do, you can punish the plate in seconds.

We whipped these up recently, based on the recipe from Secrets from the Red Lantern...possibly the most beautiful cook book going around. I've tried this a few times, but this was no doubt the best I'd got it. It's so easy to cook and even easier to eat!!
