Frequently asked questions
Yes. Many of these recipes can be made using frozen fish, without defrosting, which is particularly convenient for everyday meals. However, it depends on the recipe and the type of fish so always follow the instructions for the individual recipe.
Mild-flavoured fish and familiar dishes such as fish pie, fish cakes, fish and chips and pasta bakes can be good places to start. Combining fish with foods and flavours that your family already enjoys can also make it more appealing.
Fish works well with plenty of vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta and salad. For lighter meals, try serving baked fish or salmon quiche with salad. On colder days, serve a fish dinner with peas and other vegetables. I particularly like sautéed leeks and peas with fish. You could also add a quick cheese sauce, healthy hollandaise, or parsley sauce.
Canned and frozen fish can be useful, affordable alternatives to fresh fish. Tuna, sardines and mackerel can be kept in the cupboard and used for quick meals, while frozen white fish can be stored until you need it. I always buy fresh salmon whenever it is on offer and freeze it, as I prefer it to ready-frozen salmon.
