Hawksmoor Air Street London

The Hawksmoor Air Street only opened in November but is already attracting good reviews. Unlike the other Hawksmoor restaurants this one doesn't only do great steaks. They have included a nice selection of seafood but not in a 'tacked on' way; they have teamed up with Mitch Tonks from Dartmouth to develop a seafood menu of high quality. The result in my opinion is great meat and equally great seafood with no compromises.
We had the seared scallops which were cooked with white wine , herb butter and sea salt. They were delicious and cooked to perfection. Main course was the monkfish which was well seasoned and grilled over charcoal. The result was succulent and very tasty with sides of fries and spinach with lemon and garlic. Service was friendly and helpful thanks to our waitress Aleksandra who was very knowledgeable about the food. We will go again.

Fish Curry

I made this delicious fish curry today and it was simple to make so here are the basics. Cut Tilapia fillets into strips and lay in the bottom of an ovenproof dish with raw shelled prawns. Chop one onion and spread over the fish. Sprinkle with slices of fresh garlic, ginger and sweet pepper. Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime on the top. Add a large jar of Tikka Masala cook-in sauce and leave to marinade in a cool place for an hour or so. Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes then serve with brown rice, spinach and a slice of lime. Enjoy.
