Hake is a predatory fish with a long, rounded body, silver skin and delicious white flesh. Stocks are at a sustainable level in the UK, making hake a great alternative to cod. The Cornish hake gill net fishery was certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) as a sustainable fishery in June 2015. In the past, hake was a primarily southern European fish, but global warming has meant that this fish has migrated north. Whilst a large proportion of our catch goes to Spain, Portugal and Italy, the domestic market is growing. Its shape makes hake great for cutting into steaks. The flesh is quite soft, but firms up on cooking has a good flavour and is well worth trying. For an alternative to battered cod, try deep-frying hake fillets dipped in a light tempura batter.
A beautiful dark blue crustacean that commands a very high price. The claw and tail meat of lobster is considered a delicacy. Female lobsters with eggs (berried hens) are protected under the law and fisherman have to put them back in the water, so you can enjoy lobsters all year round. The method through which lobsters are caught is sustainable, as potting is a selective, low impact fishery. There is much debate as to the most humane method of cooking live lobsters. It is recommended that they are first wrapped in a wet cloth and placed in the fridge to render the lobster unconscious in a sleep state (torpor). Before boiling, drive a sharp pointed knife through the cross on the head. This method both prevents suffering and ensures the meat stays tender.
A superb, readily available, sustainable fish that is amazingly underrated. Ranging in size from 200g to 800g, mackerel has a bullet-shaped body with beautiful iridescent silvery-blue skin and dark wavy stripes. Mackerel is a rich source of Omega-3 with greyish flesh and an incredibly rich, unbeatable flavour, which is best grilled or baked. Hand-line caught mackerel is the best choice. Any sauce should be sharp to complement its rich flavour: try gooseberry, sorrel, rhubarb, cranberry, redcurrant or mustard, but avoid anything creamy or buttery. Marinating in citrus juices is also good. Mackerel is highly rated in Japanese cuisine, where whole fish are marinated in soy before grilling or griddling. As with most oil-rich fish, it is good for smoking and makes a great pat
The humble prawn is a well-loved crustacean. English prawns are caught using pots in estuaries and shallow bays across the EU, such as the small-scale prawn fishery in Cornwall. These taste great and are sustainable. Additionally, there are plenty of cold-water prawns on the market, which are wild caught in the cold and icy waters of the North Atlantic Prawns are firm and meaty in texture, with a distinctive, sweetish flavour. They taste wonderful in creamy, garlic pasta dishes and stir fries. Before cooking, many people prefer to remove the intestinal tract running down the back of the prawn, known as â??de-veiningâ??, but if youâ??re serving the prawns in their shells this isnâ??t possible. Do not toss the shells away and waste a good ingredient, as they make a flavorsome stock, perfect for a base flavour for soups or risottos.
Squid has a firm texture and a strong flavour and range in weight from 100g to 1kg. Squid are popularly known as calamari. Once cleaned and prepared, the body (or tube) is great for stuffing and steaming or baking. Small whole squid can be grilled, pan-fried or griddled, while large squid can be opened out flat, scored and cut into pieces with the tentacles for stir-frying. Squid ink is widely used in making pasta and risotto, giving it a rich black colour and a delicious fishy taste. It freezes well and can even be sold separately, so you do not need to buy squid to get it.
