Fish Piccata


"Piccata" translates to piquant or piquancy, which in one definition means tart or zesty. When used in reference to a way of preparing food, particularly meat or fish, it means "sliced, sautéed, and served in a sauce containing lemon juice, white wine and capers. Fish piccata can be served with rice or pasta as a side dish.

    That looks amazing. I wouldn't have thought to have cooked fish like that. I always cook it really simple, fried with a teeny bit of oil.
    Have a fantastic weekend.

  16. Does dredging it in flour give it a texture outside the fish, or does it help in carmalizing the colour? Looks so good - mouthwatering presentation!
