This recipe is from Sooke Harbour House near Victoria, rated the world's second-best country inn in 2000 by Gourmet magazine. Sinclair Philip, the chef and proprietor, and his kitchen crew, including head chef Edward Tuson, the creator of this recipe, are known for their dedication to local fresh produce and seafood. For the miso paste here, they recommend one from Denman Island, one of the northern Gulf Islands. Sablefish, also known as black cod, comes from the cold waters of the northwest Pacific. Because it may be difficult to buy outside the West Coast, substitute Atlantic halibut.
While it was pickerel we feasted on for our shore lunch at Hatchet Lake, Sask., any white freshwater fish will do for this classic fish-fry. There is more batter than needed, but it makes it easier to dip the fish.
Leg of lamb is always welcome on an entertaining menu, and a boneless roast takes away any worries about carving. Anchovies are a classic partner to lamb; they melt onto the surface, adding a lively but not at all fishy flavour (omit if desired). Serve with rice pilaf or roasted potatoes and a Belgian-endive-and-watercress salad.
Flavourful fish and loads of fresh veggies make this simple dish the perfect spring meal.
