Pangrilled Mahi-mahi with Tomatoes and Egg Roe
Went to the World Food Expo last Saturday and came home with lots of food, and with a much much lighter wallet. After doing an inventory after we got home, I realized we bought a lot of drinks. From the weird (beetroot and purple carrot anyone?) to the surprising (aloe vera?) to the “hoarding-cause-it-was-damned-cheap” (Del Monte Pina Colada for 10 pesos a can!).
Among our purchases were packs of frozen fish, some of which, I cooked for dinner.
Pangrilled Mahi-mahi with Tomatoes and Egg Roe v. 6 August 2006
makes 2 servings.6 oz Mahi-mahi fillet, quartered
salt
crushed black pepper
butterSauce:
1 tomato, diced
1 generous teaspoon of egg roe in olive oil1. Season the mahi-mahi fillet with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a pan, then grill the fish until done.
2. After you’ve removed the fish, saute the tomatoes in the butter left over from the mahi-mahi. After the tomatoes have turned mushy, add the egg roe, then stir for a few seconds, before serving on top of the fish.
For tonight’s dinner, I also cooked some mashed potatoes, then added a fresh basil leaf to make it look nice.
The egg roe is a bit hard to find; ours we bought at the Gourmet Cafe shop in Silang, Cavite. It was called Carmel’s Pinoy Caviar. I’m planning on making my own though, but I’m still trying to figure out what’s in it. It’s great served on rice, and as shown above, for cooking as well. Wish me luck trying it out!

[...] Bottled Fish Roe No, it’s not caviar, nor Japanese-style roe like Ebiko or Tobiko. It’s fish roe cooked in olive oil, garlic, and god knows what other spices. I’d like to know too because I’m truly nuts about this and would love to learn how to make it. I haven’t sworn allegiance to any particular brand since I’ve tried only two. I loved them both, but sadly, I can’t find more. My first bottle was branded Carmel, we bought from the Gourmet Silang store, while the other, I think it was called Blue Kitchen, just showed up in our house. I’ve no idea what fair my mom picked it up from but unfortunately, I can’t find any more. [...]
