I just saw this dish on Poh's Kitchen and it looks too good not to share!

Numus (Pickled Fish Dish)

Ingredients

serves 4

* 4 medium size fillets from firm white flesh fish eg - trevally

* 1 onion

* 1 lemon or lime

* ½ tsp red and green chilli for colour

* Pepper and salt

* ¼ tsp garlic

* ½ tsp palm sugar

* 1 tbs mushroom flavored soy sauce

* 1 cup white vinegar

Slice onion into fine pieces (half or rings) and scatter around base of ceramic or glass bowl. Sprinkle pepper all over onion. Slice very fine bite size pieces of fish and layer evenly over onion. Pinch of sea salt over fish; add finely chopped chilli, garlic and sugar. Layer finely sliced lemon pieces all over fish. Pour over soy then do same with vinegar. Give ingredients a gentle mix. Put in fridge for 20 to 30 minutes. Gently mix before serving

For those who don't like eating raw fish, the vinegar and lemon cooks the fish through.

I have pickled flathead fillets before, it is so simple and so delicious with a beer, just cut fillets into cubes, in a sterilised jar add fillets, some chopped onion and fill up with brown vinegar, leave it for a week or more in the fridge, it is awesome
