Dyb Dyb Dyb Dab Dab Dab

This afternoon, after work, we picked up half a dozen dab fillets for well under five pounds.  A packet of samphire was also sitting there reduced so we grabbed that as well.

On the menu this evening was pan fried dab and samphire stir fry, roast potatoes, roasted green beans with vine tomatoes and hollandaise sauce.  This came in at about £3 per person for The Woo, Sam and me; so a bargain, really.

I put the potatoes on first.  Brought to the boil in a pan; drained and then in a 180* oven, dredged in duck fat and left to crisp up for about 45 minutes.

The green beans were topped and tailed, tossed in olive oil and spread onto a roasting dish.  A bulb of garlic was cut in half and bunged in the pan.  Vine cherry tomatoes were arranged on top and the whole lot was drizzled with more olive oil and seasoned with sea salt and ground black pepper.  These were put in the oven for the last 20 minutes of the potato roasting.

The dab took hardly any cooking at all but the fillets were thin and various sizes so I knew they would break up.  I seasoned them with sea salt and black pepper and fried them in butter in a large pan.  As they started to break up I added the samphire and gently stirred the whole lot round for a couple of minutes.  This created a sort of stir fry effect.

All served up with a good lug of The Woo's hollandaise sauce.  Yummy!
