225 g (8 oz) hake, cod, haddock, or other well-flavored white fish
3 scallops
75 g (3 oz) prawns (shrimp)
2 onions, roughly sliced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
25g (1 oz) ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1/3 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
450mL (15 fl oz, 2 cups) each white wine and water
20g (3/4 oz) gelatine
Put the white fish in a pan with the onions, vinegar, ginger root, spices,
wine and water. Bring it gently to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add
the scallops and prawns and cook for a further 3 minutes. Remove the fish;
bone and skin the white fish and set it all aside. Strain the cooking juices
and set aside to cool for several hours by which time a lot of the sediment
will have settled in the bottom of the bowl.
Carefully pour off the juices, leaving the sediment, and then strain
several times through a clean teacloth. You should have appoximately 750mL
(25 fl oz, 3 cups) of liquid left. Melt 20g (3/4 oz) of gelatine in a little
of the liquid, cool it to room temperature, then mix it into the rest of the
juices.
Pour a thin layer 1 cm (1/2 inch) of the juice into the bottom of a 1.2
liter (2 pint, 5 cup) souffle dish or fish mold and put it in the fridge to
set. Flake the white fish into smallish flakes; remove the coral from
the scallops and cut the white flesh into three of four pices. Once the
jelly is firm, arrange the most decorative of the fish in the bottom of the
dish-- some scallop coral in the middle, prawns around the outsides, flakes
of white fish in between or however you feel inspired.
Spoon a little more of the juice and return it to the fridge to set.
Continue to layer the fish in the mould, setting each layer with a covering
of juice until you have used up all the fish and juices. Leave the jelly to
set for at least 4 hours in a fridge. Unmold and decorate with fresh herbs,
serve as a starter.
