Salmon Pasta
I found this recipe on the BBC Good Food site today while looking for a simple dessert. It sounded interesting: salmon, lemon juice, horseradish and creme fraiche. Stephen is out tonight so simple seemed the way to go. It was ok but the flavours were just a bit wrong. I like horseradish with fish but […]
Read More..>>Monkfish
We bought two rather large monkfish tail fillets from our fishmonger today. Our attempt at griddling them wasn’t too successful, so we have decided to buy a new griddle pan; it must be the pan rather than us! That said though, they were really good. Meaty fish with a distinctive flavour. The brown bits were […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Fish
Our second barbecue in as many days! It seemed like a waste not to barbecue on any rain-free weekend days, so we bought some fish to burn. It was a pink / red sea bream this time – the first time I remember having one. We bought it from a local fishmonger and when he […]

. A quick lunch today of sardines on toast. Reminds me of being small as we often used to eat this for lunch on a Saturday. Yum.
Read More..>>Harissa Roasted Salmon
We’ve had a lot of fish this week; clearly we need to be more imaginative when trying to think of healthy things to cook. We roasted some harissa-covered salmon and served it with roasted cherry tomatoes and a salad of spinach, feta, pine nuts and new potatoes. Generally, things worked well together but the salmon […]
Read More..>>Avocado with Pine Nuts and Fish with Tomatoes
We’ve been eating lots of avocado lately. I’ve always liked it but at the moment I really like it. Not that I get obsessed about food stuffs and eat them until I can’t face eating them anymore or anything… 😉 Tonight, Stephen made a pre-dinner dip of mashed avocado with salt and pepper sprinkled with […]
Read More..>>Barbecue
Yesterday, we went to a friend’s barbecue. We’d been keeping our fingers crossed all week that the weather was going to co-operate and we were lucky, apart from a few spots of rain just as the food went on the grill, it stayed dry. Darren is famous for his guacamole, and he didn’t let us […]
Read More..>>Crab Spaghetti
We bought a dressed crab yesterday at the same shop we bought the lamb and, not really knowing what to do with it, used it for crab spaghetti. We’ve done this a couple of times before with tinned crab and it’s tasty, quick and easy to throw together with just a few store-cupboard essentials (garlic, […]
Read More..>>Prawn and Squid Stir-fry
Having decided that stir fries can be a tasty and quick way to comply with our healthy eating regime, we tried another one tonight. This was a Thai style stir fry with prawn and squid. We added vegetables (yellow pepper, baby corn and mange tout) to an existing recipe. The recipe called for insane amounts […]
Read More..>>Fishcakes
We made these fishcakes on Sunday and froze them; 20 minutes in the oven when we got home tonight and they were done. We roasted the salmon in the oven with some garlic and baked a large potato. Once cooked, flake the salmon and mash the potatoes with butter and seasoning, combine with some briefly […]
