Spicy Fish in Cherry Tomato and Harissa Sauce

In North African households "dag harif" (spicy fish) is a must on every Friday night or holiday table. But there is no reason to wait for a special occasion to make this super easy and tasty fish braise. Fish chunks – fillets or steaks cut on the bone - are cooked in a bright-red fiery sauce and served with couscous or lots of soft white bread - to mop up the sauce. As with most ethnic recipes there is no single recipe and every North African household has its take on this classic. Cherry tomatoes are not traditional but add elegance and a fresh sweet touch to this gutsy dish.
