Crayfish by roy

This week we bring you a recipe from Roy Graves, owner of Riviera 4000 Chill. Roy is an absolute lover of the sea and has a special place in his heart for diving, hence this recipe is definitely tried and tested.

Ingredients

  • Olive Oil – 100mls
  • Garlic – 3-4 cloves
  • Fresh Ginger – 1cm root
  • Flour – 2 tablespoons
  • White wine – 1/2 Cup
  • Fish Stock – 1 Cup
  • Whole crayfish

directions

  1. On a heated pan or wok on medium-high, add olive oil, garlic and ginger. Lightly cook until aromatic and golden.
  2. Add the flour, mix and cook for a few minutes.
  3. Add white wine  fish stock and cook until it thickens.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste .
  5. You now have a fishy/garlicky/gingery/winey thick roux that tastes pretty average  .
  6. Cut up the whole crayfish into bite size bits – legs and tail with the shell on. You can add the “ mustard “ as well if you like/want the strong flavour that it brings .
  7. Toss all the crayfish bits into the roux and cook until the shell goes pink. 
  8. Season to taste
  9. Serve with lemon and enjoy!
