A Jellie Of Fyshe Recipe
- 225 gm (8 ounce) hake, cod, haddock, or possibly other well-flavored white fish
- 3 x scallops
- 75 gm (3 ounce) prawns (shrimp)
- 2 x onions, roughly sliced
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 25 gm (1 ounce) ginger root, peeled and finely minced
- 1/3 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 450 ml (15 fl ounce, 2 c.) each white wine and water
- 20 gm (3/4 ounce) gelatine
- Put the white fish in a pan with the onions, vinegar, ginger root, spices, wine and water.
- Bring it gently to the boil and simmer for 10 min.
- Add in the scallops and prawns and cook for a further 3 min.
- Remove the fish; bone and skin the white fish and set it all aside.
- Strain the cooking juices and set aside to cold for several hrs by that time a lot of the sediment will have settled in the bottom of the bowl.
- Carefully pour off the juices, leaving the sediment, and then strain several times through a clean teacloth.
- You should have appoximately 750mL (25 fl ounce, 3 c.) of liquid left.
- Heat 20g (3/4 ounce)
- of gelatine in a little of the liquid, cold it to room temperature, then mix it into the rest of the juices.
- Pour a thin layer 1 cm (1/2 inch) of the juice into the bottom of a 1.2 liter (2 pint, 5 c.) souffle dish or possibly fish mold and put it in the fridge to set.
- Flake the white fish into smallish flakes; remove the coral from the scallops and cut the white flesh into three of four pices.
- Once the jelly is hard, arrange the most decorative of the fish in the bottom of the dish- some scallop coral in the middle, prawns around the outsides, flakes of white fish in between or possibly however you feel inspired.
- Spoon a little more of the juice and return it to the fridge to set.
- Continue to layer the fish in the mould, setting each layer with a covering of juice till you have used up all the fish and juices.
- Leave the jelly to set for at least 4 hrs in a fridge.
- Unmold and decorate with fresh herbs; serve as a starter.
