This was a very popular dish in a restaurant where I once worked.
It had quality seafood i.e prawns scallops and sole, it was served with a beurre blanc sauce on a bed of rice.
In today's dish I will be using a cheaper selection of fish. I purchased it in Dunnes Stores at e 9.99 a Kilo there is salmon,hake and smoked cod, you can use any fish that is available on the day. I added squares of bacon and button mushrooms. I will be making my version of beurre blanc sauce.
A little tip steep the wooden skewers in cold water for about 1 hour before using, this hardens them and prevents them burning on the grill or barbecue.
