You can find more information on where to find fish and sea food here.
Cod
This classic is a versatile fish, you can batter it, fry it, roast it… the possibilities are endless. One way we love to prepare it at this time of year is by wrapping it in foil with lemon juice and herbs and roasting it. Serve with boiled potatoes, salad or rice for a lovely summery dish.
Haddock
A good option for a fish pie, there are loads of things you can do with haddock. Grab a pre prepared smoked haddock or smoke it at home and try it on toast with cheese for something a little different.
Prawns
King prawns make a great alternative to meat for the BBQ, especially if you’re in the mood for a kebab or two. Prawns soak up flavour easily, so why not cover them in honey and garlic before BBQing?
