I was in a restaurant and the table next to me had ordered a prawn chowder as it was a cold day it looked so appetizing so I thought I am going to make that tomorrow. My local supermarket has 25% off fish on certain days, perfect! I chose salmon as I wanted to try…

Fresh Whole Crab Lettuce Cups with Avocado
Yum yum yum! Fresh crab is delicious, if I close my eyes while eating this I can hear the waves and the seagulls. I grew up in a seaside town called Torquay and it’s right next to Brixham which is famous for brown crabs. We use to have them in such abundance that the prizes…
Prawn, Squid, Fennel and Scallop Stew with Ginger and Saffron
So this was an easy recipe as all the shellfish was in my freezer so I could take a handful out of each and it defrosts really quickly. I love fresh fish but I also think it is handy to have some frozen backups too. This tagine was delicious the aniseed flavour from the fennel…
Pan Fried John Dory on a Fennel, Leek and Pancetta Broth
I am really trying hard to eat more fish at the moment.To keep it interesting I am mixing up the type of fish im using like cod, plaice or hake for example. This time it was John Dory I adore this fish and the spot on it is suppose to be the thumb print of…
Smoked Salmon and Avocado on Crumpets with a Dill and Mustard Dressing
OMG! Why have I never thought of doing savory crumpets before! This was an amazing brunch. I didn’t have any eggs but adding a poached egg would make it perfect! These are one of my favourite combinations smoked salmon, avocado and dill with a tang of mustard. Just yummy! I am gong to have a…
Prawn and Pea Gratin with a Parsley Cheese Sauce and Lemon Breadcrumbs
So this is one of my favourite dinners when my husband is away as he hates parsley sauce but I love it! I grew up with the boil in the bag fish and parsley sauce (or maybe not fish as the shape was rather funky!) This is really nice with smoked haddock as well or…
Rose Harissa and Preserved Lemon Cod Tagine
Gosh this was yummy, but then I again smoked paprika is one of my addictions along with dried oregano! As its summer I thought fish would be a really nice lighter option though chicken would work really too. I make my own preserved lemons (hence the colour) they last for ages and ages. I think…
Fresh Crab, Pepper and Lemon Pappardelle with Parsley and Chive Breadcrumbs
So we finally had a sunny day so I grabbed the dogs and hubby and headed to the coast. We go to a dog friendly beach near us called Winchelsea. We don’t gert to go on all sunny days as we like it low tide. But today was just right. Its about 40 minutes away…
Whole Dover Sole with an Olive Oil, Caper, Lemon and Basil Dressing
I love eating sole meunière when I’m in a fish restaurant. I always think its so expensive though, so I decided to have a go at making it myself at home. Instead of dover sole you could also use lemon or megrim. This recipe is off the website of the fishmonger where I was born…
Halibut Fillets with a Shrimp, Caper, Lemon and Butter Sauce
Halibut is defo one of my favourite fishes and as it is a flat fish the flavour is beautiful and delicate. It is so meaty and as it is a large flat fish you get a really decent fillet. As it’s not the cheapest fish in the world I do go all out. So drenching…
Crab and Avocado Toasts
So we took the dogs to the coast for their walkies and every time we go down we treat ourselves to a fresh crab as I love them so much. This was our brunch the next day it was so delicious. I really like a mixture of brown and white meat as I think it…
Marinated Sea Bass Fillets with a Tomato, Olive and Caper Sauce
I think sea bass is one of my favourite fishes as it cooks so quickly and tastes so yummy. I decided to go for the Mediterranean vibe on this recipe. I know it sounds weird but it felt healthy eating it. The flavours are so yummy and I literally drank the liquid that was left…
Smoked Salmon and Burrata on Toast with Capers
Oh yes creamy burrata indulgent salmon and lots of pepper. This is such a yummy brunch lunch or light dinner. It would also be perfect for Christmas breakfast. The burrata takes it up a notch along with the watercress and salty capers. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
Smoked Salmon Pasta with a Caper, Lemon and Parsley Sauce
This is such a great dinner when your tired and just want something tasty and quick. The sauce is great and skinny as you don’t use milk or cream. The flavours are classic, I am so partial to a bit of 80’s parsley sauce and just spruced it up. Ingredients Directions
Tuna and Sweetcorn Potato Skins
I love jacket potato as you can literally put anything on them. I love a certain brand of baked beans with cheese on top. (If they are good enough for our queen consort Camilla, they are good enough for me 😉) My hubby Paulie doesn’t like beans so I had to try something else. Tuna,…
