Ingredients
Yield:4 servings
- 1pound fresh wild striped bass fillet (the farm-raised, fresh-water striped bass will not do)
- 1cup dry white wine
- ¼ to ⅓cup extra virgin olive oil
- ⅓cup lemon juice or to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½cup cilantro leaves, chopped medium-fine
- 48or so small black and green olives
Preparation
- Step 1
Trim the bass of the dark portion and any stray bones. Skin and cut into 1-inch cubes. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the wine to boiling over high heat, add the bass and reduce heat to medium. Poach the bass until it is white and firm but still juicy, 3 to 4 minutes, turning pieces to cook evenly and watching carefully so the fish does not overcook. Timing is important.
- Step 2
Drain the bass in a colander and place in a bowl. Break the fish apart into lump-crab-meat size pieces with a fork. Add ¼ cup oil and toss to coat, adding more oil if necessary. Add the lemon juice and toss; season with salt and pepper. Fold in the cilantro. Divide among 4 plates and garnish each with olives. Serve while still warm.
