Simple sashimi

Sashimi is simply delightful in summer.  Asian dishes tend to bang on in terms of flavour and texture combinations - and the appearance of sushi and sashimi on Western shores and the speed at which it has gained popularity firmly attests to this.  


Upon first arriving in New Zealand, I'd never given a great deal of thought to differences in the fish available at the market.  Being a different hemisphere, this goes without saying.  Strolling around the market one day with my flatmate we spotted a rather lovely looking piece of Ling Cod.  Loving sashimi, I agreed to have a bash at whipping something tasty up for him later. 


What you need:


8oz Sashimi grade fish - we used Ling Cod, but other white fish would substitute just as well
1 red chilli
1cm piece of ginger, grated
1tbsp soy sauce
1/2 a grapefruit, juiced
1/2 clove garlic


What to do:


Slice the fish thinly, on the bias (at a 45 degree angle).
Next, mix up the chilli, garlic, soy sauce and grapefruit juice in a bowl.
Arrange fish slices on a plate and pour over the sauce mixture.


Eat, and enjoy - embarrassingly simple but exceptionally good!
