Our favourite fish recipes to be enjoyed on any day of the week, not just Friday!
From gorgeous fish pies, to easy DIY salmon fishcakes, these are our favourite fish recipes
We’ve got a boatful of fish recipes, from show-stopping whole salmon centrepieces to this healthier fish and chip tray bake.
Fishcakes are a firm family favourite, so we’ve rounded up our ultimate recipes – including zesty lime and coriander fishcakes and these smoked salmon fishcakes – for a speedy seafood supper. And if time is of the essence, this cost-effective Sicilian pasta recipe uses store cupboard staples, and will be on the table in just 20 minutes.
When it comes to that classic winter warmer, there’s Good Housekeeping’s long-loved fish pie, featuring plump prawns and salmon. Fancy a twist on tradition? Why not try our Bisque fish pie or piri piri fish pie (trust us, it works).
Many of these recipes can be served for an occasion-worthy weekend brunch, including these rye flatbreads with hot smoked salmon and Scandi-style pickles and our peppered mackerel kedgeree recipe (that can be adapted to use any fish you like).
