Seafood Week - A Recipe Idea and Giveaway

Fish is not only low in fat and a great source of protein, it contains Omega 3 which benefits the heart, so incorporating fillets or shellfish into your family meals each week is a wise choice. As 7th-14th October sees the return of Seafood Week why not pop a fish dish onto your meal planner? 


Fish is the dish competitions #seafoodweek


Regardless of your budget seafood is a tasty and simple option for busy parents and we really enjoyed trying bream for the first time recently. The fish was pan-fried to make the skin crispy and placed on a bed of new potatoes and plum tomatoes in a garlic, ginger and onion sauce with a little parsley to garnish. The entire dish took less than 30 minutes to make - thank you Hello Fresh!



The benefits of eating fish

  • During pregnancy your baby requires lots of nutrients to grow and fish can help to provide these
  • Fish helps to provide children with the minerals and vitamins they require
  • Omega-3 fats found in fish help to maintain a healthy heart, normal blood pressure, brain function, vision and blood levels of triglycerides (a type of fat that increases the risk of heart disease when levels are raised).
  • Iron makes red blood cells, transports oxygen around the body and can reduce tiredness - brown crabmeat, crayfish, clams, cockles and mussels contain this important nutrient
  • White, oily and shellfish are protein-rich and fill you up for longer. This can help you to maintain a healthy weight

It is recommended that you eat 2 portions per week - have you been eating yours?




Seafood Week is all about encouraging families to purchase, cook and eat more fish and to celebrate we have teamed up with Seafish to offer one lucky person a Circulon Genesis Stainless Steel Pan Set worth £170....




For your chance to WIN a Circulon Genesis Stainless Steel 4 Piece Pan Set worth £170 you can enter via the Gleam entry form below.

The giveaway ends at 11.59pm GMT on 14th October 2016.


Leaving a comment below with a healthy recipe/meal idea involving cod, which consists of 5 or less ingredients, is compulsory to enter and the best recipes will be published on the Fish is the Dish website.

Good luck!

Brown in the pan under a hot preheated grill for 2-3 minutes. Add the butter to the pan with the juice of 1 lemon. Melt around the fish and serve.

    My daughter loves cod in Tomato and Thyme-

    1 onion
    400g can chopped tomato
    few sprigs thyme
    1 tbsp soy sauce
    4 cod fillets

    so quick and easy to make so perfect if you havent got much time-

    Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion, then fry for 5-8 mins until lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, thyme and soy, then bring to the boil.
    Simmer 5 mins, then slip the cod into the sauce. Cover and gently cook for 8-10 mins until the cod flakes easily.

    I always serve this with new potatoes- she loves it and it really low fat too :)

    175g prepared squid ( optional ) I dont use because kids don't like it

    1 tbsp fish sauce
    Zest of a lime
    1 egg white
    1 tbsp oyster sauce
    groundnut or vegetable oil for deep frying
    For the Chilli paste
    25g roasted peanuts
    3 red chillies
    85g granulated sugar
    5 tsp white rice vinegar

    Put the salmon, white fish and squid into a food processor, then whizz until smooth. Add the chilli paste and pulse until well mixed. Place all the other ingredients, except the oil, into a large bowl. Add the fish mixture, then knead together for 5 mins until smooth and elastic.
    Shape into small flat discs about 5cm across. Heat a few cms oil in a wok until it shimmers, then fry the fishcakes in batches for 2-3 mins until golden. Drain on kitchen paper. Can be chilled for up to 1 day then reheated in a hot oven for 5 mins.
    For the chilli sauce, place the vinegar, sugar, 2 tbsp water and the whole chillies in a small saucepan, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins, then remove from the heat. Place in a food processor and blend until smooth. Strain, saving 1 tsp chilli, then stir in the saved chilli and leave to cool. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve fishcakes with the chilli sauce & peanuts.
