Sua I'a - Fish Soup | curl sand smiles

By panipopos

I've met 2 people inwards my life who avoid meat served with bones inwards it. According to these folk , it's equally good much problem , equally good messy , as well as simply acre primative to move gnawing meat from a bone. These guys (yes , they are both men , grown men) mean value that chicken , pork , beef as well as fish must move able to move cutting with a knife as well as eaten with a fork. If , past times some bully misfortune , they come about to larn served a os , they'll cutting a fiddling meat hither as well as there. But when their plate is returned to the kitchen , yous may equally good serve that meat correct dorsum out to person else for all the flesh that volition move left on the bone.

Now apparently , these people are non Samoan.

You run across , a Samoan's plate would move returned to the kitchen with bones equally build clean equally a whistle. Or possibly that's simply the Samoans inwards my family.

Let me illustrate. If my household unit of measurement had chicken legs for dinner , we'd move crunching away at the cartilage similar it was a carrot. If nosotros had beef , we'd move sucking out the gelatinous marrow from inside the bones. Pork , good , if it was direct from the umu as well as fall-off-the-bone-tender , no run involved there. But if nosotros were eating trotters , all twenty-something of the private bones inwards the pig's human foot would move hence build clean , yous could wire them together as well as present them at a natural museum.

But allow me say yous virtually the fish. When my household unit of measurement ate fish , dinner conversation was scarce. Instead , you'd listen slurping as well as sucking sounds as well as lots of finger licking , pausing exclusively to conduct the bones from our oral fissure as well as house them inwards a neat pile on the side of our plate. I hateful , fish took our bone-cleaning skills to the highest degree of expertise. I'm non talking virtually eating the fish's trunk as well as tail - that's child's play. I'm talking virtually breaking downwards a fish caput , getting a total repast out of it , eyeballs as well as all!

The next recipe is for those of yous who are correct at i time thinking "Oh yep , I totally know what she's talking about". It's for yous that have read this far , as well as convey non screwed upward their confront inwards disgust. It's for the shameless cartilage-crunching , marrow-sucking , trotter-eating , fish-eye-loving os cleaners with us. I know you're out there.

Sua I'a (serves 3-4)
1 lb (450-500g) whole fish or fish pieces with bones
½ an onion
1 tin (400ml) kokosnoot milk
1-2 (400-800ml) cans water*
salt to taste
2 saltation onions (optional)

* Add plenty H2O hence that your fish is to a greater extent than frequently than non if non completely covered.

Any medium-firm textured fish (snapper , body of body of water bass , yellowtail etc) plant good inwards this soup.

If you're using a whole fish , build clean , scale as well as gut it , as well as then chop it into serving size pieces.

Slice your onion thinly.

Put the fish pieces as well as onion inwards a small-scale pot. Add the kokosnoot milk as well as water. Season with salt. Bring to the boil as well as and then plough downwards as well as simmer for upward to 10 minutes , depending on the size of the fish pieces. Don't overcook your fish , or yous powerfulness detect all the flesh has fallen off the bones , as well as is floating at the bottom of your soup.

While that's cooking , patch the saltation onions. When the fish is cooked , plough off the rut , throw inwards the saltation onions as well as cover.

Serve hot , either inwards a bowl , or with the fish on a plate as well as the soup inwards a mug.

And relish line-fishing out dem bones!
