Winter Comfort Food - Thai Fish Coconut Curry

Adapted from About.com

Here's a wonderful Thai Fish Coconut Curry that is so simple and delicious - Made from scratch in 30 minutes!

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 15 minutes

SERVES 4-6

Ingredients:

500-800 g white fish fillets
1/3 cup dry unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks, or canned equivalent (drained)
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, or canned equivalent (drained)
1/2 tsp Cumin
A Handful fresh coriander

Curry Sauce:

1 can good-quality coconut milk
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1-2 fresh red chillies, crushed
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, crushed
3/4 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1-2 Tbsp. brown sugar (to taste)
1 Tbsp. Tomato Sauce
2 Tbsp Fish Sauce
3 Tbsp. fresh-squeezed Lemon or Lime juice

Instructions:

Place coconut in to a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until coconut turns light golden brown. Tip toasted coconut into a bowl to cool.

Place all 'Curry Sauce' ingredients in a food processor, chopper, or blender. Blitz to create a fragrant yellow curry sauce. (If you don't have such a device, simply mince everything well and stir together.)

Pour sauce into a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. 

Add the fish, pineapple , tomatoes, cumin, and half the toasted coconut.

Stir and bring to a gentle boil.

Once sauce is bubbling, reduce heat to a slow simmer and cover with a lid. 

Allow fish curry to simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked (fish will firm up, turn opaque, and flake easily).

Taste and adjust seasoning depending on your taste - add more chilli for a hotter curry, more fish sauce if not salty enough, add more sugar for sweetness or if too sweet add more lemon juice.

We serve this with brown basmati Rice and sprinkle over some toasted coconut and fresh coriander.

ENJOY!

My Vision for the New Zealand Marine Industry - Pacific PowerBoat

My Vision for the New Zealand Marine industry - Dean Salthouse, Director of Next Generation Boats

Our great nation once was a nation full of can-do Kiwis ready to conquer the world. We have climbed Everest, split the atom, arguably flown the first plane, dominated ocean racing and America's Cup regattas, and set the bar for yacht design, super-yachts and composite construction.

So why should the New Zealand boat building industry lie down and even contemplate allowing imported boats to have such favour in our marketplace?
This may be Custer's last stand and looking around it sure feels like it!
But I believe in the Kiwi can-do spirit! I believe we can mass produce better vessels at lower prices than the imports because we already do!
I believe that little old New Zealand at the bottom of the world, surrounded by ocean, can build stronger, faster, more capable boats than any other nation in the world!
I believe once again the world will copy us! As before we will take on our rivals at the highest level and win!
But we need the New Zealand boating public's help! All we ask is that you consider what the local market has to offer and give us a chance to show and explain why our vessels are superior.
If you look at and trial a local vessel and find you can do better elsewhere, that's fine!
But I urge you to at least allow us the opportunity to present our products so you can make an informed decision!
The New Zealand marine industry is in serious danger because of the buying decisions that the New Zealand boating public have made. Either support what's left of our decimated industry and contribute to our country's economy or pour your hard earned dollar into some foreign country's recovery effort - it's that simple.

If your income or business revolves around a strong New Zealand economy, why would you miss an opportunity to put something back into the very place your profits come from? I believe we could create the biggest manufacturing facility in the Southern Hemisphere here in New Zealand, creating thousands of jobs and - playing a massive part in balancing the country's trade deficit! 

We have everything we need to achieve this and more; we have the best testing grounds in the

world, the keenest boaters and some incredibly - talented designers and manufacturers.
Kiwi boats are of outstanding quality, performance and design and will stand the test of time in New Zealand conditions! We know what boats need for our environment and sometimes dangerous waters!
Try "Kiwi Made" Good things take time - Great things take longer!

Salthouse Next Generation Boats are popular in both NZ & OZ.

Is the wife not happy with you filleting the catch in the kitchen sink?

Then here's a trick I learned some years ago, and the best thing is all you need is some snap-lock bags and a bucket of water - Tip from Michael our Operations Manager

1. Fillet the catch and cut into manageable portions
2. Place them inside the snap-lock bag leaving the top open
3. Fill a bucket of water to near the top
4. Place the bottom of the bag containing the fillets in the bucket of water, keeping it against the inside top edge of the bucket
5. Gently submerge the bag down the side of the bucket pushing the air out from around the fillets - the air will naturally escape from the top of the bag due to the water pressure 
6. Continue the process until all the air is removed 
7. All you do then is snap the bag up while maintaining pressure against the side of the bucket
8. 
   

Give it a go next time you have some fillets needing freezing, the results, one happy wife and great tasting fish.

So, put snap-lock bags on the list next time you visit the supermarket.

Every boat should have at least one box on board as this is not the only great use for them.
