Bass,Marsh Samphire & Sea lettuce Broth

As a result of catching yet more Bass recently and feeling in need of light refreshing grub i quickly knocked up this littel number. I thank my training now back in the eighties where and when i was learning the ins and outs of vegetarian and vegan cooking in a little restaurant in Bristol namely Wildoats.

It is always useful to have a working larder in order to whisk things up in a hurry. Necessary ingredients here are ginger, garlic, chilli, fresh coriander, fish sauce and lime. o h and shoyu Tamari or soy sauce if you don’t mind the wheat.
