Craving for the taste to take me back to Fiji - if only in my mind lol. I saw a recipe in the Sunday Star Timeswhich used trevally but would another fish be even better!

Trevally is our favourite.It is wonderful raw and is highly sought after for sashimi and sushi.Of course it needs to be super-fresh.Next best in my opinion would be tuna or salmon.
That recipe in the Sunday paper was Al Brown's and it looks fantastic, especially if you use fresh coconut cream.I'm going to make it as soon as I can get hold of a coconut.

I like to use blue cod, probably because it's easy for me to get and it's nice and firm mmmm

In my mind (which is not always completely reliable, but hey - it's the only one I have!) I associate trevally with bait.In Alexandra we only have one New World supermarket and they have a pretty good selection of fresh fish, but I don't think I have ever seen trevally. I'll keep an eye open. That recipe looked fabulous!

My local supermarket usually has blue cod, so I might practice with this. Sliced really thin, right! Do you have your own special recipe, iriegirl!

Trevally is an oily fish and the flesh is not perfectly white.Apparently that's the reason that it is not as popular as species like snapper and hapuka.I use it a lot, either raw or hot-smoked or in robust stews and curries.It does need to be very fresh, and it's best if you buy it whole so you can judge the condition of the fish.Give it a try.
