An old favourite from ” Big Flavours and Rough Edges” by David Eyre and the Eagle Cooks. Its best to use undyed smoked haddock if you can get this. The Horseradish Mash can be replaced with Saffron Mash. Infuse a gram of saffron in the milk( or half milk and cream) while it is heating through and omit the horseradiash.
I found this recipe for Tuna in ” Lobster & Chips” by Trish Hilferty, one of my go to fish cookbooks. She inherited it from Tom Norrington Davis and they both worked at the renowned Eagle in London. You need to use really fesh tuna and waxy potatoes such as Charlotte. The tuna could be replaced with swordfish or other robust meaty fish. The tuna will be medium rare which is the best way to eat it, but if you prefer cook it for a little longer.
An early summer favourite from ” Lobster and Chips” by Trish Hilferty. The first wild salmon usually becomes available in early June, briefly overlapping with the time of year when smaller Jersey Royals are still available. Sea Trout or organic salmon can be used as an alternative, but I urge you not to use farmed salmon.
This New Year I’m cooking my way steadily through ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. I love her tweaks to traditional thai recipes such as using fish rather than prawns or chicken in this dish. If you want to use prawns instead, just add them after the onions and garlic. Serve with some rice.
A quick and healthy supper from ” Nigella Bites” by Nigella Lawson. If you can, use wild or organic salmon. Farmed salmon won’t taste anything like as good and is often detrimental to the environment and harmful for the fish, contributing to disease. I would far rather eat less fish than support many types of fish farming.
I recently visited Blakeney in Norfolk , England, while walking the Norfolk Coast Path. The little seafood stall by the harbour had sold out of crab, so I opted for their Salt and Pepper squid with a Sriracha Mayo. I can honestly say it was one of the best versions i have had so if you go there do try it. In the meantime here is a version from ” Nigella Bites” by Nigella Lawson.
