Switch the Fish

Sainsburys have a Switch the Fish campaign, in which  they encourage people to switch from imported fish, to sustainable British fish.

​I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch in Dursley and was given a parcel containing all these fish, Mussels, sardines, coley and Dover Sole. So I thought it would be useful to say what I did with them

With mussels I made moules

• Clean the mussels and discard any that won't close when tapped
• Saute garlic and onions
• When soft add the mussels and steam for a couple of minutes until they are opened in some white wine
• Add cream and enjoy with crusty bread

With the sardine, I gutted it and simply grilled it.
I floured the sole and then pan fried it.
I heated some butter in the pan until it was nut brown and poured it over the fish

I skinned the coley, and then cut it into chunks
I made a beer batter out of plain flour, salt and enough beer to get a constistancy of single cream.
I then dipped each piece in and then deep fried them.
