Baked Lemon Sole 

Catherine MuK
I didn't add the parsley, just panfried it. Simple, but oh so effective.
Marj
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 - ?
Aurora Sprincz
I loved it, so simple to do. Broiled means "baked" at high temp., quickly.
Fran
At what temp is it broiled?

Baked Sea Bream

It is very nice... kids loved it... husband loved it... thanks!
Mum1
Really nice and quick to prepare which is a bonus. Didn't use the olives though! (don't like olives!)
Eif
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!
Eif
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.

Baked Lemon Sole with Parmesan Crust 

Michael
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.
Andrea
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.
Nicky
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!
Mary Jane @ 7/22/08
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.

Hake Florentine 

Donna Munns.
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.
Jeanette Aquilina, Malta
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 :)
Trevor Lowe
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.
Posted by Dawn Loureda @ 7.40am, 26/09.08
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.

Susan
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!
Karen
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!!!
Moon Chef
Try Sprinkling Potato Crisps On Top Before Cheese
And Add A Pinch of Chilli Onto Prawns

Prawn Chow Mein 

Grace
I really like the prawn recipes but i think you need more recipes on fish (cod,tuna,haddock)
Mark
How long do u cook the prawns for?
NATTY
Hi you only need to cook the prawns for a few mins.

Cheese Grilled Fish 

Amanda
Excellent taste - although I added a little garlic too!
Gordon
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.
Derek
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
Denyse
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 :)

Creamy Corn and Smoked Haddock Chowder 

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

Stir-fried Scallops with Asparagus 

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

Gerard
This was an excellent recipe. A) Easy to prepare and cook. B) Wonderfully tasty.
Esther
Recently cooked this for friends coming to dinner. So easy to do, really tasty and made a great impression. Enjoy it.

Rich Tomato and Red Wine Mussels 

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

Cod with Coriander in Cream 

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

Crispy Fish Batter 

Margaret
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.
Bizzy izzy
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.

Potato and Prawn Curry 

Lo
I love Prawns and potatoes, so a mix is excellent! Well Done! Good Mix! x
Brian & Janice Dainty

Smoked Mackerel with Lemon Minted Potato and Sprin... 

Jenny Fly
The flavours were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe.
Amy Grace Mai
Is it a salad, or a mackerel dish accompanied by a side salad?
Also, are the potatoes seperate or in the salad?

Cod au Gratin 

Andrew
Yum yum. And so easy.
Alan
Very, very good!

Coley Provencale 

Carol
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!
Karen
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

Baked Herrings 

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

Haddock Crumble 

Haddock Crumble
Laura
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.

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

Haddock thermidor 

Haddock thermidor
Joan Kniveton
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

Trout with Herbs 

Stuart Stevenson
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

Stuffed Trout with Yogurt Sauce

Judith
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.

Will try this again with another sauce.

Scallops with Ginger 

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

Satay Prawns 

The Geoff
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.

For the batter:- 300ml is shown as 1/4 cup - doesn't make sense!

Old English Fish Pie 

Stella
This recipe is easy to prepare and very tasty

Microwave Prawn Pilaff 

Biddi Kings
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.

Baked Flounder and Oranges 

Stan Tyska
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.

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

Quick Kipper Pâté 

Prof. Bostockulon Crons
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

Poached John Dory with Scallops 

Brian Mc goran
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.

Roasted Monkfish Tail 

David G San Diego
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...

Baked Haddock Fillets

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

Scampi Provencale #1 

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

Grey Mullet Stuffed with Pine Nuts 

Mystic
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.

Smoked Mackerel and Cottage Cheese Flan 

W Silvie
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!

Baked Halibut with Wine 

Anabela
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!

Morayshire Smoked Haddock 

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