Seafood Recipes

Seafood recipes are often an underrated source of protein. Not only is it lean, but cooking more seafood and fish recipes at home is a great way to get more Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin D. Both are integral to maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. There are so many ways in which you can incorporate fish into home cooking, with a huge variety of fish dishes and seafood recipes to choose from. Try adding more of them to your weekly cooking routine to boost your nutrient intake.

Pescatarian meal planning often means coming up with new ways of serving similar ingredients. If you have white fish and don’t want to deep fry it for fish and chips again, for example, then making a thick and creamy seafood chowder instead is a fantastic idea. Here’s what you need to do for the perfect seafood chowder recipe to serve four:

Step One: Melt some butter in a large, non-stick saucepan and then fry a finely chopped onion, adding two diced medium potatoes, a chopped carrot and thyme once the onion is browned off.

Step Two: Pour 500ml of fish stock over the vegetables and allow them to simmer for 15 minutes.

Step Three: Lower the temperature and add 500ml of whole milk, taking care not to allow the chowder broth to boil.

Step Four: Add chunks of white fish and seafood, such as prawns, mussels, crab meat or cockles.

Step Five: Cook for a further six minutes, season to taste, and serve.
