Awesome tucker.

Yep sure, it's all pretty straight forward:

MASH

  • Enough sweet potato to feed the mob.
  • Cut the dodgy bits off the potato and cut into chunks before microwaving them (covered) till cooked (10 mins should do depending on the quantity). Skin on or skin off is fine.
  • Mash the potato with a spoon if you want it chunky or with a masher if you prefer it smooth - squeeze in lime juice, 2.5 tablespoons of mango chutney, a lug of soy sauce and salt and mix it all together - taste and refine as you need.

FISH

  • Fry up a few pieces of pancetta with a bit of oil till crispy, remove the pancetta.
  • Drop the fish skin side down into the pancetta oil.
  • Sprinkle crushed fennel seeds over the fish with some salt and lemon zest.
  • Leave till the fish is cooked almost all the way through - medium heat.  Break up the pancetta into chunks while the fish is cooking.
  • Flip the fish to finish cooking it and drop in the pancetta pieces to warm them.

Serve.

We mixed up a sauce for the greens which topped it all off amazingly but I'll need to get the specifics of it when I get home.  It had garlic, sesame oil, soy and olive oil but I can't remember the quantities.  I seriously did not expect it to work but the taste went so well with the mash none of us could believe it.
