Sashimi Plate
- Put the fish pieces in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until quite firm. Be careful to make sure it does not freeze.
- Using a very sharp knife, slice the fish into 3mm (0.1 inch) thick slices and lay on a chilled platter, in an overlapping pattern. Scatter the coriander leaves over the top, then sprinkle with the diced tomato and red onion. Season with sea salt and ground white pepper.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the potato for 6 minutes, or until golden and just cooked. Sprinkle over the fish. Squeeze over lime and then drizzle over the soy sauce. Scatter the chili and chives on top.
- Reheat the shallot oil over a medium-high heat until it is sizzling and drizzle over the fish, to serve
