Squid, Scallop, Salmon and Prawn Stir-Fry…with Oysters
We’d vaguely planned a fish stir-fry for dinner this evening and Stephen volunteered to go shopping for the ingredients. I’d imagined some kind of white fish or possibly some salmon but he came home with a big bag from the fishmonger which included all of the above. He sauteed off the fish first before removing […]
Read More..>>Thai Banquet
We’d been planning to go to Oriental City last night and buy ingredients for a Thai banquet; we didn’t end up going but managed to scavenge enough ingredients from the shops of Fulham to put it together anyway. First up were prawn crackers. Friends of ours had actually bought these for us from Oriental City […]
Read More..>>Sake-Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger
After recent attempts at Japanese cooking, we tried again. This time, we tried sake-steamed sea bass with ginger. I’ve been getting used to going to our fishmonger, buying a whole fish and proudly heading home with it as if I’d caught it myself, then barbecuing or roasting it whole. I bought a whole sea bass […]
Read More..>>Fish and Potatoes
While looking through my “things to cook soon” file yesterday I came across this “speedy fish and potato dish” that I’d clipped from Prima magazine. I don’t recall ever buying a copy of Prima magazine so I have no real idea where or when I clipped this but it sounded like it was worth trying. […]
Read More..>>Japanese Scallops
Having been to Bincho Yakitori last week and had many very, very delicious Japanese style bits of meat and fish on sticks, we decided to try our own. We tried with scallops and marinated them in soy, honey, sake and a little oil. We lacked a charcoal grill, so cooked them in a frying pan. […]
Read More..>>Mackerel Pate
At last! This has been on my “Things To Cook Soon” list for months. We both love smoked mackerel and eat it a lot, we also eat a lot of mackerel pate but never seem to get round to making it ourselves for some reason. Today though we rectified that and I’m glad we did […]
Read More..>>Sea Bass with Fennel and Lemon
Last night Kerri was out, so I was just cooking for myself. I decided on some sort of fish with fennel and found a recipe that included lemons too. Armed with a wild sea bass, one large fennel bulb, a few small fennel bulbs and a lemon, I went to work. I chopped up the […]
Read More..>>Salmon Fishcakes with Horseradish
Last time we made salmon fishcakes, they were a great success and we were keen to repeat that success. We had bought some horseradish on the weekend and were keen to use that too, so we grated some into the fishcakes and also made some creamed horseradish sauce. I’m sad to report that the fishcakes […]
Read More..>>Barbecue
Tonight, after a quick wander around Borough market and the Thames Festival we barbecued some scallops and some bass. The scallops were enormous but really tasty and we finally found a use for the shells that have been hanging around for ages. The bass was simply stuffed with lemon, parsley and garlic and served with […]
Read More..>>Barbecue
The weather report claimed that we were going to have sun yesterday and it didn’t work out that way, but we had planned to barbecue so we went ahead. We started with prawns which we’ve done a few times before and we marinated them in oil, lemon, garlic and chilli as we usually do. Then […]
