Remove the cake rack and refrigerate the fish until needed.For the achara, place the chilli vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then increase heat to how and bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Cool, then add the garlic. Add the remaining ingredients, combine well and stand for at least 10 minutes. Drain and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Combine the sea grapes, tomato and onion in a bowl. Set aside.

Hot Tips
Bringing meat to room temperature
Always bring your meat (this does not apply to minced meat) to room temperature before cooking it. This will allow for the exterior of the meat to brown nicely when it comes into contact with heat.
