Fish and seafood recipes

I didn't add the parsley, just panfried it. Simple, but oh so effective.

Enjoyed it very much - extremely simple and delicious. Just wondering why it's caled Baked Lemon Sole, since the recipe directs that it be broiled - ?

I loved it, so simple to do. Broiled means "baked" at high temp., quickly.

At what temp is it broiled?

It is very nice... kids loved it... husband loved it... thanks!

Really nice and quick to prepare which is a bonus. Didn't use the olives though! (don't like olives!)

I've just spent a short time preparing this dish, its in the oven right now! It looked amazing before going in, can't wait to try it!

Wow, what a dish! I used 2 smaller fish, and halved plumb tomatoes to serve 2 hungry people! Served up with a baked potato, and garnished with baby leaf salad. I also added a glug of white wine vinegar to the juices left in the roasing tin, to make a nice vinegarette to drizzle over the dish.

We were expecting a result that would have dried out the fish but to our delight, it was quite moist and tender. It appears that the crust (dry & fat combo mixture) acted as a blanket, keeping the moisture sealed within the sole during the bake period. My wife and I were initially hesitant to try this out. In fact, we considered breading the sole to fry instead of baking it. Still, it turned out to be a lovely meal and would certainly recommend it to others who want something simple to prepare and prefer the less exotic concoctions.

I decided to try this recipe when my husband decided to thaw out some filets he had in the freezer. I am not particularly fond of fish, but tried this recipe anyway. It was really good, and fish was tender and not too fishy tasting. I expected the fish to be dry, but it was excellent.

Having never cooked lemon sole before, I thought this recipe was nice and simple. The end result was fantastic - moist fish with a tasty crunchy topping.
Will definately be cooking this one again!

I had frozen Dover Sole also thawed them in cold water. Made the bread crumb mixture but added some lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley to the mixture..Patted it on top of the sole and baked in a 400 oven for 25 mins. It was crispy,juicy and delicious. Plus so easy to prepare. I did spray my pan with Pam and I think that helped keeping the fish from sticking to the bottom.

Lovely recipe,very tasty, but spinach is best steamed for 2-3 minutes in a small amount of water. Also you may need more than two tomatoes depending on how big your oven proof dish is, i used four large tomatoes.

Just now i cooked for all the family, i have just done the process of the oven that is seasoned the Hake, and baked it. I have boiled some spinach and done some mash potatoes cuz i needed a quick recipe done in a few minutes.. next time will surely try it with the sauce, oh and i poured the juice on the hake and also the spinach :)

An easy dish to cook. I have made it several times and everyone has really enjoyed it. It can be made using different fish and cheese if those specified are not available. I have used pollock and mozarrella cheese.

Easy to follow recipe. I,m making it for the second time for a dinner party. Lovely taste. I served it with sliced boiled potatoes with olive oil and paprika.

I made this and my whole family loved it-even my daughter who doesn't usually eat seafood! It's a great recipe for the whole family! I hope you enjoy it as much as i did!

I consider myself to be quite a good cook so I don't think my skills were the problem here - I found this incredibly bland and quite unpleasant and I put the lot in the bin!!!

Try Sprinkling Potato Crisps On Top Before Cheese
And Add A Pinch of Chilli Onto Prawns

LOVELY

This was such a delicious meal I made it twice in the same night, and then licked my fingers like 20 times, then didnt brush my teeth so i could taste it forever into the rest of the night, aya didnt really like it though. hashim tried a bit and then left and lious toeh just raah khales

I used this on my show, top stuff.

I tried it for dinner and it was superb!!!!!!!!!

I really like the prawn recipes but i think you need more recipes on fish (cod,tuna,haddock)

How long do u cook the prawns for?

Hi you only need to cook the prawns for a few mins.

Excellent taste - although I added a little garlic too!

Great recipe - works with wet dijon mustard which is what I used. Followed Amanda's advice and used garlic. Some new potatoes, baby sweetcorn and boiled new potatoes. A glass or two of white Bordeau was a great accompaniment! A lovely meal for my wife and me.

I served mine with creamed potatoes and frozen peas.

Just what I was looking for - a simple recipe and easy to do in my Dutch Oven

A great no fuss dish,daughter had to be out the door in 30mins so i put it together in a flash using bok choy and some herb things from my garden.Added 1/4 tin of chopped tinned tomatoes instead of water with the fish, gave it a bit of colour, cooked easily in my electric frypan.Lovely :)

Does the haddock have to be cooked? I know it is smoked, but must I pre-cook it as well? Can I use the frozen kind that comes in the IJ box?

This recipe is close to mine i love it with fresh haddock i have my own smoke house and vegi garden

Why doesn't this recipe tell you what oven temperature to cook the fish at?

Oven temperature is too high should be 200C / gas 5 or6

"2. Put the oil, onion, garlic and spices into a bowl. Cover loosely with cling film and cook on HIGH for 2 minutes."

High as in microwave high

Simple sauce but far too sweet and tomatoey..not enough sour to compensate. Thanks for the effort though :o)

Really nice,... but i wouldnt use honey, :)

FIRST TIME TRIED SCALLOPS EXCELLENT RECIPE, ADD A FRESH CHILLI FOR KICK. WORTH TRYING

This is very quick and tastes properly Thai, but you need to serve it with rice noodles to serve 4-6, otherwise it's just enough for 2

This was an excellent recipe. A) Easy to prepare and cook. B) Wonderfully tasty.

Recently cooked this for friends coming to dinner. So easy to do, really tasty and made a great impression. Enjoy it.

A little more information on how to cook this dish would have helped. we bought the mussels fresh so "cooking the mussels according to the instructions on the pack" really did'nt help. otherwise a very good dish.

Added a little chili to the tomato sauce, loved the recipe and was really easy! first time i had cooked live mussels.

Simple and savory, I enjoyed this recipe very much. Be careful with the sauce to not overheat or the yolk will become too stiff...

Absolutely delicious - a lovely combination of flavours that enhance the fish. Actually, I used ling, which was cheaper than cod, and it worked really well. Thank you.

As a chef I am always trying to improve on recipes and methods I use, and this is one of the best batter recipes I have ever come across.

I have never cooked with batter before, both my wife and me thought it was absolutely lovely and easy to do and it really was crispy and light. Thanks.

I love Prawns and potatoes, so a mix is excellent! Well Done! Good Mix! x

This is one of the nicest & easiest meals we have cooked at home. Our guests were very impressed & asked us for the recipe.

The flavours were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe.

Is it a salad, or a mackerel dish accompanied by a side salad?
Also, are the potatoes seperate or in the salad?

Yum yum. And so easy.

Very, very good!

I have a "thing" about coley - particularly the strong smell when it comes fresh from the fishmonger.
This recipe was excellent, because the taste of the fish was present, but the provenƒÂ§al mixture (fruits and vegetables from our garden) enhanced the otherwise sometimes negative coley . I shall cook this again!

What a delious fish dish.I shall be using this recipe to entertain at my dinner parties, fish can be a bit bland but with this recipe it brings it alltogether with the wonerful flavours

Do not sprinkle too much salt on the fish. careful with the vinegar too!

AS I HAD A HEART OPERATION 3 YEARS AGO I DO NOT USE SALT AT ALL I FLAVOUR WITH PEPPER AND MANY DIFFERENT HERBS AND SPICES

I did this recipe with whole trout and with fillets and i the fillets came out on top and easyer to eat with the fresh tasting marinade i served it with charlotte potatoes mange tout and baby corn i also added a finger chilli to the advocado dip

Information on the pan size would have been helpful but it worked out well! All of the family loved it. Definitely cooked longer than 30 minutes. It was more like 45 minutes and that was with turning the broiler on! Next time, I will turn on the broiler earlier.

Does this only work with fresh Mackerel?

Where is the second part ?

Whoops, Sorry. Fixed Now

I looove mussels but had never tried this recipe, it was by far the best mussel dish i've ever cooked. I love just hot sauces but the pineapple added so much.

perfection

Over complicated way of cooking fish and making sauce.why not use the liquid from the fish to make the sauce? easy to do if the fish is cooked in milk.
also needs a vegetable to make a balanced meal,in my opinion eg brocolli, peas to add colour

Where's the rest of the receipe?? bought all the ingredients and now i will have to guess which will be a disaster.

Sorry Maggie. Database seemed to have messed up. Fixed now

Surely herring does not need butter added to it?

Do you mean in a microwave???

Such an easy dish to cook with very little preperation required, Even for a rank amature like myself, I veried the herbs to what i had at hand, Broad leaf Parsley, Rosemary, Corrianda and Tyme with a small garnish of a sprig of Watercress and almonds to finish.to any freshwater fish lovers Pike can be done in the same way useing a 4 to 6lb jack pike

I tried this at home myself, and it was great. The sauce particularly complements the earthy taste of the trout. Cooking time may need to be extended though - I had a slightly bigger fish and ended up cooking it for over an hour.

Great recipe for stuffing and cooking a large trout

Recipe doesn't tell you what to do with the prawns - how to cook them! What happens to the parmesan and paprika? They're not mentioned in the recipe.
I think this recipe is unfinished.

answer: Sorry fixed now

Was a lovely light meal the whole family enjoyed . very quick and easy to make .

A very simple and easy to follow recipe. Top marks!

Delicious, easy to prepare, my husband loved it, too.

They are also good boiled with sea salt

Delicious. This recipe is a keeper.

I made the sauce with Pernod and served it with cous cous mixed with lightly fried green and red pepper, onion, garlic and chopped fresh coriander drizzled with olive oil

This recipe is the worst recipe ever the butter dosent set because the buttermilk is still presnt when meltin the butter pour slowly into another bowl thus seperating the butter froim the milk

This appears to be the same recipe for sole saint-germain!

Can I leave the skin on, or should I remove it first?

Would eggwash be egg white at all?

I made this according to the recipe above, and my sauce was sour and no other taste was detectable... The fish turned out perfect and was nicely seasoned.

Will try this again with another sauce.

This is ripped off from the hot wok cookbook

Thanks for letting us know, trying to trace who submitted this recipe.

Superb!! storecpoard ingredients excellent served with creamed potatoes and stirfried baby vegetables-yummy

Great recipe (one of my favourites), so here's a quick version for the sauce (serves 2-4)

1 Jar smooth peanut butter
Chilli to taste
1 tbsb sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
Finely chopped fresh ginger
Soy sauce to taste

Blend together. Simple as that. Don't worry about the proportions too much, it's mostly a matter of taste, as long as there's enough fluid to make it 'dippable'. It benefits from sitting in the fridge overnight if you can wait that long. If you leave out the peanut butter it's a fantastic marinade.

Best mussles i have tasted

For the batter:- 300ml is shown as 1/4 cup - doesn't make sense!
Which measurement is the correct one to use?

Answer
There all the same, first is metric, second U.K, third is U.S measurements.

Very simple and quick to make, tastes very nice and packs a punch with the chillies.

The only thing is with this page therlyne are no pictures to see what they would turn out like we are only going on what is said

Just like my mother made. Delizzioso!

Delightfully easy and very tasty recipe. One that I'll use for other types of fish and chicken.

Didn't have any fresh tomatoes, so substituted 1 average size can of diced tomatoes--came out great!

It is a great recipe,very quick and easy to do and yet the result is full of flavours. Try it!

An absolutely wonderful meal - wholesome and with the fennel delcately flavoured. The kind of meal one would expect on the menu of a michelin starred restaurant. Gorgeous!

Very quick, and very tasty! Recipe was very simple to follow

Really nice recipe,the taste and smell are fantastic. Had to leave it cooking for a bit longer than suggested though.

Wonderful-easy to make -delicious light sauce with great flavor

This recipe is easy to prepare and very tasty

I cooked it according to the recipe and by the end the rice was still virtually raw. I ended up cooking it on the hob for further 20 mins before it was even edible. I would normally cook brown rice on the hob for about 35 mins, so perhaps you mean easy cook brown rice, in which case you should amend the recipe.

I like the recipe and of course I always look for something different. I wonder how a take-off of chilean bass can be introduced into flounder.

Very simple and very tasty

The directions are a little vague but the basic idea is there. A very good idea overall. (c:

Absolutely lovely recipe we all loved it.thanks

The recipe was too hard to figure out what to do. The directions are too confusing. Does the cucumber cook with the fish in step 1?

The recipe is simple but I intend to develop this as a supermarket product and would welcome the best recipe

I followed these instructions and was able to create a wonderful pate that everyone at our dinner party enjoyed - everyone commented on how wonderful it was, but shortly afterwards all of their eyes fell out. This is not a show-stopper but I think people should bear this in mind if they are planning on making this for their own dinner parties!

All it says is a quantity of batter. What are the ingredients and how do you make it?
Answer. Sorry. Tempura Batter Added

Poaching scallops makes the scallops taste rubbery like over cooked squid, ideally one should sear the scallops and add to the dish.

Very useful had no problem finding a recipe to use, all the directions were there. Very impressed thankyou.

I live in San Diego, and have been looking for fresh MONKFISH after having it for the first time in an upscale Chicago Eatery last year. Found it at the ZION marketplace on Mercury Street in San Diego.... very fresh... and your recipe... perfect..I had no Idea of the best way to cook it i used Sesame Oil instead of olive oil and also rubbed in some cavenders... I served it room temperature with a splash of soy sauce and finely minced chives... ohh how wonderful...
OHH... Side Note... when skinning... note there is a membrane under the skin, you can leave it on or peel it off.... definately score it a few times...

Im doing a project at school and i have used your recipe but i wil change it. i tried it and it was very nice thanks

xx

I found this part of your recipe missing the word milk ... I know most could figure it out, but then?? Just wanting to help :-)

1 1/4 cup (1/2 pint) 300 ml (full-fat or semi-skimmed

Thank You
Neil

If you enjoy the subtle flavour of fish you are unlikely to appreciate this recipe! The ingredients tend to "drown" one another.

Very easy to prepare and delicious. my family loved it.

So moist, excellent flavor, no seafood taste at all. It is one of my very favorites. Thanks jaynessa1

Would make a great starter

I used smoked haddock and added 100g cheddar to the sauce

The simplest ways are always the best!!!

Where is the tip? Can't see it anywhere!

I usualy add a tiny green chilly together with the scampi to give a little bite. I then remove it before serving

I followed the quantities and had two grey mullet fish weighing a touch over 2kg (approx 4 1/2lbs). there was plenty of filling left over. Grey Mullet do not have a massive body cavity for stuffing so left the remaining filling outside the fish in the parcel.
I have a fan oven and even at 200 deg C it took 35 minutes.
Grey mullet is somewhat like mackerel although not quite as pily (or indeed nice) when fresh. The cinnamon was too overpowering and I would recommend that it is reduced to 1/8th teaspoon. Nice dish all the same and the meat fell off the bone.

Very good BUT it would be helpful to say how much mackerel would be suitable for the recipe. We used two fillets but even that was a little too powerful!

This is a really good recipe thank you .. i made it for my family and it tastes great.

This is basic but i would enjoy fried fish with some kind of seasoning

Delicious. My mother always packed the herrings tight each one separated by a bayleaf,

This recipe was delicious! My friend, who came for dinner, usually adds a barbecue sauce into about everything - 'for a taste' - as she says. I made her to taste this dish before she added sauce, and she agreed with me that it did not need it. Result! Thank you!

This recipe says that 1/3 cup = 40g and also that 3 cup = 225g. They can't both be correct. Which is it?
