• Remaining chilli vinegar can be used throughout other dishes when vinegar is required in the recipes.
• The oil used to make the pearls can be used throughout other dishes when vegetable oil is needed.

• We used kingfish in this recipe, but it works equally well with any large fatty fish, including salmon, or ocean trout. Ask your fishmonger for their recommendation for a responsibly sourced fish.
