Pam Dorrington of Porterville spent weekends at her holiday home in Britannia Bay. She came to deeply love the West Coast and the varied and many fish dishes that beckoned one to partake. She collected recipes from local folk and in 1988 produced a book which was distributed far and wide. Betsie Rood's contribution was Snoekbrood met Groentesous, which we share with you today. If you have a special recipe and would like to share it with everyone, please contact the webmaster.
