Every Easter we prepare enough pickled fish to feed an army and have leftovers for days. On Good Friday pickled fish is a staple with a few other seafood dishes and of course hot cross buns
Salwaa Smith – CapeMalay Cooking & Other Delights. FishCakes. Come rain or sunshine fish frikadel served with dhal and or ‘gesmoorde’ tomato is our favourite meal on a Monday in our household
CapeMalay Deli had premixed spices on offer. There was a lady, Tasneem, selling fish and chips and some seafood options who also assured me her food was all halaal
Unusually for an Indian restaurant, a ceviche-style bowl of raw line fish was served with a CapeMalay dressing, coriander emulsion, saffron and pickled onion
We also had the curried coconut fishcakes which packed a real CapeMalay flavour punch and the balsamic onion marmalade and Camembert tart (the marmalade on the latter, while beautifully sweet and gorgeously jammy, overpowered the delicate Camembert to my taste though)
A fruity baked brown lentil babotie with rich capeMalay spices. Accompanied by my friend and fellow blogger Fiona Rossiter, I was pleasantly surprised to 'bump into' another friend of mine Sarene Kloren of WomanOnline, and Karisa Nicholls of Cape Town My Love whom I had also met at prior events
