  • Clean the fish, cut it into serving pieces, season with salt and pepper, dredge in cornmeal, and fry in a well-heated skillet with vegetable oil until golden. Now make the mujdei — that's the garlic sauce. Press the peeled garlic into a small bowl, add salt, and pour in just enough water to cover the garlic. And — here's the key! — once the fish is done, lift it out onto a platter, and pour the still-sizzling oil the fish was fried in over the garlic. Stir, and it's ready! For the mamaliga, put the remaining cornmeal in a heavy cast-iron pot, rinse it under running water a few times, cover with water, and set over the heat. Once it boils, turn the heat down low and cook the mamaliga, stirring along the bottom with a wooden pestle, until it firms up enough to slice — you want to be able to cut it, not eat it with a spoon like porridge. When it's ready, turn it out onto a board, mound it into a dome, and let it cool a bit, then slice it into bread-like pieces with a length of thread.
