Cook's note
Like it spicy? Add some chopped chilli while cooking off the curry paste.
* If your Barra fillets have skin, it’s easier to remove cooked skin. Heat a pan to medium heat. Rub olive oil, salt and pepper into the skin and fry skin side down for 5 mins (before fillets are cooked). Set aside to cool, skin will peel off. Eat straight away, or use it to garnish your curry.
