Twas Offered From the Land of Oz
Coconut crumbed Dolphin[mahi-mahi}with Mango and Basil sauce
Well the thread was there anyway so run with it .
To serve 4-6 ? this all depends on whether your Country club members
still eat Nouveu Cuisine or go for broke .
for 2 pounds fish fillets skinned and boned
flour
2 eggs
oil - light -peanut?
1 cup crumbs -bread
1 cup dessicated Coconut
SAUCE
2 mangoes skinned and flesh removed
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil-use thai basil if you can get it
1 clove garlic
splash white wine -1/4 cup ?- Vermouth ? Midori ? I Digress here !
Ground black pepper to season and a touch of soy sauce
Oopps {Insert Finely chopped Hab here} nearly forgot . WHip me
Process Sauce ingredients till smooth -Set aside
flour fish
combine crumbs and Coconut
Dip fish in beaten eggs and coat with crumb mixture -press crumbs into
fish
chill fish for 1 hour to set coating
shallow fry 2 min each side drain and drizzle with sauce
now i would put some sauce around the fish and run a circle of Coconut
milk/cream around the outside and do that swish Knife thing to make it
look pretty .But then again i would also soak my dessicated Coconut in
the Coconut milk/or cream for an hour to give more flavour .,and also
whip a bit of candied Ginger into the sauce ,not much ,just a hint .
But then again you probably would do much the same.......
serve with ,well i'll let you work on that.
TUNA -TONNATO

2 pounds tuna steaks -1 inch thick
Olive oil
Italian herbs ,Pepper,Salt
Tonnato sauce
1 cup Mayo -MAKE Fresh!!!! why coz its better !
10 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons capers
15-20 stuffed green olives
Pan fry a small bit of tuna ? 2oz? small bit anyway
Marinate remaining Tuna in oil herbs salt and pepper
Process roughly cooked tuna anchovies capers and olives
OOpps {add HAB here}
add mayo and process till just combined
Cover Chill for at least 3 hours -to allow flavors to develop -then
bring to room temp
Grill Tuna 2-3 min each side serve with sauce
Tomato salad and real black olives Not those tinned ones from Calif

If i wuz there i'd take the pimento out of some green olives and
stick a sliver,{don't that send a chill down your back} of Hab in ,and
throw those into the salad .
