- 1 medium-sized tilapia

Preparation and Cooking Instructions :
- Place the tilapia fillets in a bowl with the lime juice, spring
onion, Scotch bonnet pepper and thyme. Season with salt and freshly
ground pepper. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 12-24 hours.

squash, return to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the
christophene and cook for a further 5 minutes.

fish fillets on top. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, steaming
the fish (add more fish stock if necessary) until cooked. Serve
- Cooks note : Scotch bonnets are often confused with the habanero,
as they are closely related, but not cultivars. They are a pale
yellow-green maturing to yellow, orange or red and have bell-shaped
squashed-looking ribbed pods. Scotch bonnets have a somewhat smoky
apple-cherry and tomato flavor (if you are able to discern a flavor
under all of that fiery heat). Scotch bonnets are grown mostly
in Jamaica and Belize.

Rick
Stein's Complete Seafood ~ The ultimate fast food, fish is the home
cooks no-fuss yet sophisticated weeknight or company dinner. But often
even the most nimble cooks are limited to a handful of varieties of fish
and shellfish, intimidated away from others despite every fishmongers
best attempt to dispense cooking directions. What these cooks really need
is a color step-by-step guide that shows how to work with the other 90 percent
of seafood thats under the glass. Seafood cooking school proprietor
Rick Stein has just the answer in this heavily photographic manual with
recipes. RICK STEINS SEAFOOD shows in detail how to scale and gut
round fish for the grill, skin and pan-fry whole flat fish, fillet small
round fish for stuffing, bake whole fish in a salt or pastry casing, hot-smoke
fish, prepare live crabs for steaming, clean and stuff squid, and much,
much more. More than 200 recipes, such as Sea Bass Baked in a Salt Crust
and Stuffed Grilled Mussels, will inspire cooks to put the techniques Stein
presents to good use. Extensive charts and color illustrations help cooks
tell their mackerel from their monkfish.
