Fish and Tostones - Chef Sabrina Mancin

Fish and Tostones

This is my Latin take on the very British “fish and chips” which are usually accompanied with malt vinegar, tartar sauce or lemon. In this case, I made a tangy vinegar sauce with lemon infused balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar. For those of you who don’t know, Tostones are fried green plantains, really delicious and super traditional all over Latin America. Check it out!

FISH

NOTE: If you want to use the same oil, then make the tostones first and then the fish, that way the fish flavor doesn’t permeate the tostones.
