Step 1: Peel the tomatoes

  • 4 x 200 g whiting fillets
  • 150 g plain flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 200 g bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper
  • vegetable oil
  • for the sauce:
  • 70 g butter
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • the juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • iced water
  • 2 dinner plates or trays
  • 1 large frying pan
  • 1 metal spatula
  • 1 small, sharp knife
  • 2 bowls
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 spoon
  • paper towels
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 cutting board

Step 2: Put into boiling wtaer

Place the tomatoes into a pan of salted, boiling water and leave them until the skin begins to peel away. This should take only about 10 seconds.

Step 3: Put into iced water

When the skin has loosened itself from both tomatoes place them directly into iced water, leave for about a minute and then ease the peel off completely.

Step 4: Deseed and dice the tomatoes

Cut the tomatoes into quarters, scoop out the seeds and dice.

Step 5: Season the flour

Sprinkle the flour onto a tray and season it with salt and pepper.

Step 6: Dust the fish with flour

Check that the fillets are all completely dry then lightly dust them in the flour.

Step 7: Bathe in egg and coat with bread crumbs

Next, bathe each of the fillets rapidly in the beaten egg and coat them with bread crumbs. Press the bread crumbs into the fish to assure they stick.

Step 8: Heat the oil

Pour about ½ cm of vegetable oil into a large frying pan and place over a moderate to high heat. Although we aren't going to deep-fry the fish we need to be generous with the oil for the bread crumb coating to turn out just right.

Step 9: Fry the fish

When the oil is very hot, add two of the fillets and fry one side until golden brown. Flip them over and fry the other side for a further minute then remove.

Step 10: Fry the remaining fish

Repeat the same process for the other two fillets making sure that the oil stays very hot.

Step 11: Prepare the sauce

Place a small pan over a high temperature to heat.

Step 12: Add the butter

Once the pan is hot, add the butter and leave it to heat sufficiently until foaming.

Step 13: Brown the butter and add the remaining ingredients

When the foaming subsides and the butter turns brown, take the pan off the heat. Now add the capers, lemon juice, cubed tomatoes and the parsley. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and stir thoroughly.

Step 14: Serve

Serve the crispy plaice fillets topped with the caper sauce or alternatively, put the sauce into a serving jug for people to help themselves.
