tender; drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and set aside. Combine
flour, salt and pepper. Coat fish fillets on both sides with the seasoned
flour mixture. In a large skillet, cook fish fillets in hot oil for about
5 minutes per side or until done. Remove fillets from the skillet and set
aside. Drain off the remaining oil, reserving 1 Tbls. In the same
skillet, cook the onion and garlic in the reserved oil until tender but
not brown. Add the tomato puree, olives, water, lime juice, jalapeno
pepper (if used), sugar, cinnamon, cloves and the bay leaf mixing well.
Add the potatoes, bring to boiling then reduce the heat and simmer,
uncovered, for about 5 minutes. Add the fish fillets and cook about 5
minutes or until fish fillets are heated through. Remove the bay leaf.
Arrange the fish fillets and potatoes on a serving platter, spoon the
sauce over all. garnish platter with triangles of buttered toast if
