1. Video tutorial: Filleting a round fish

1. Season the fish with salt and pepper, then slash the skin 3 times. Heat a heavy-based frying pan and add 1 tbsp oil. Once hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, for 5 mins or until the skin is very crisp and golden. The fish will be almost cooked through. Turn over, cook for another 30 secs-1 min, then transfer to a serving plate and keep warm. You'll need to fry the fish in 2 batches.
2. Heat the remaining oil, then fry the ginger, garlic and chillies for about 2 mins until golden. Take off the heat and toss in the spring onions. Splash the fish with a little soy sauce and spoon over the contents of the pan.

Buying fish

Ask your fishmonger or supermarket for line-caught fish, for a sustainable choice.

  I cooked Pollack instead of sea bass, but it worked very well, is very simple & I'd definitely recommend.

  My boyfriend and I went fishing in our boat on Sunday and caught two bass. I filleted one last night and fed up of the usual garlic and lemon juice recipe opted to give this a go. Absolutely superb. I didn't turn the fish, I just put a lid on the pan before adding the chillis, ginger onion and garlic about 3 minutes before the fish was done.My boyfriend doesn't eat fish (he just catches it) so I used this same recipe for him but substituted the fish with a nice free range skin on chicken breast. I guess the clean plate meant there were no complaints!
