Fish

squid caught rod and line

Catch It and Cook It – Squid (Calamari)

Rod and line fishing for squid (calamari) and cuttlefish has become popular in the UK over the past few years. Specialised fishing techniques use custom lures known as jigs. These have two circular rows of crown hooks that entangle the tentacles.

cuttlefish

Catch It and Cook It – Cuttlefish

My featured recipe marinates the fish with lemon, chilli and garlic. The acidic lemon juice partly cures and tenderises the flesh before cooking very quickly over high heat.

herring

Catch It and Cook It – Herring

The herring is an oily silverfish high in omega 3 oil. Grilled, smoked (as kippers) or baked, they are very good for you!

scampi and chips

Homemade Scampi

Homemade scampi is so much better than those from supermarkets. Shop bought scampi often contain over 50% breadcrumbs and only 7% actual scampi. The rest is water and minced cod plus additives.

fish fingers

Homemade Fish Fingers

Make your own tasty homemade fish fingers, so much better than shop-bought. Launched in 1955 the first fish finger in Britain was a resounding success. More than 60 years later the frozen brick of fish is just as popular.

tartare sauce

Tartare Sauce

Tartare sauce is the classic accompaniment for fish and shellfish.

caldillo de congrio

Caldillo de Congrio

Caldillo de Congrio comes from Chile and roughly translates as “broth of conger” or “conger chowder.” It is a hearty fish soup, sometimes like this recipe, with cream stirred in.

european conger eel

Catch It and Cook It – Conger Eel

The largest species of eel found in European waters, growing up to three meters in length the Conger is relatively common around British shores living amongst rocks and hiding inside shipwrecks. Rarely taken home for eating, congers usually go back when caught by fishermen.
