This is a Martin Morales Ceviche recipe. Taught to us when he came to Aldeburgh in Suffolk. A lovely light starter. The fish must be really fresh.

A simple fish pie that can be adapted using any fish that you fancy. Smoked haddock is delicious as an alternative. Try scattering some grated Cheddar across the potato before cooking. Or save time by replacing the potato with ready rolled puff pastry.

Just a quick and easy supper, when you fancy a piece of fish. Try the recipe with other types of fish.

Mussels are usually a good and affordable buy for a weekday supper dish. Peak season is from October through to March. Imagine you are in Belgium or France and serve with crusty bread or a side order of frites. Experiment by using cider instead of wine and creme fraiche instead of double cream.

An economical and easy fish mousse that is perfect for a picnic or as a dinner party starter.

This is a Middle Eastern inspired dish with Sumac adding lemon citrus flavours and tartness to the fish. Sumac is a coarsely ground powder made from the berries of the Sumac bush, which is native to the Middle East and particularly notable in Iran. It is easy to find in Waitrose and other good supermarkets. Try this recipe with any other firm fleshed fish but make sure that if you plan to cook it on the barbecue that you keep the skin on as it helps prevent the fish from sticking to the grid.
