Wendy Solomons has gone all out for the Easter weekend with pickled fish and hot cross buns. Here she takes a break from top to toe house cleaning too ahead of the long weekend.Wendy Solomons says the Easter weekend for her family is special as it symbolises the sacrifices made by Jesus, in reference to the crucifixion and resurrection that Christians marked.
Shamiela Petersen said Easter weekends for her are all about"togetherness" and tasting everyone's fish dish."But my recipe will remain my secret that was passed down to me by my late mother. What I can say is that there is a bit of a very strong tang to it, and I don't add lots of vinegar. I measure it strategically."Rosaline Berenice Arendse says her family is not big on pickled fish, so she only makes about two bowls for the weekend for her and her husband.
And, the art of preserving fish for long journeys, by frying it dry with masala, then adding onion and vinegar to preserve it.Fast-forward to Misbach's teenage years and memories of Muslims picnicking at Macassar, to the east of the city over Easter. at the Kramat in Faure, which forms part of the circle of Kramats in the Western Cape."Now what is going to last for four days?" asked Misbach.
For local small scale fishers, the rush to buy fish and get it pickling, is also an opportunity to bring some much-needed cash home. Fisherman Ismaiel Fortune said he has been fishing for over 40 years and high in demand at Easter is snoek, yellowtail, kingklip and crayfish. The fishermen said they thought now that the lockdown had ended after two years, they would go back to catching tons of fish and start rebuilding their livelihoods since the pandemic crippled their wages.Unfortunately, we haven't been able to live up to locals' expectations because of the little snoek we're catching. Sometimes the men would be gone for five days and only return with about 20 snoek, which is very little compared to what we usually get.
