Summer is the perfect season for fresh, vibrant flavours, and our new range of fish, sourced from a local fishmonger, is sure to bring a splash of the season to your table.
This week, we’re serving up top fish grilling tips and pairing suggestions with delicious seasonal vegetables, as well as sharing some of the health benefits that fresh seafood offers.
Top tips for grilling fish
Grilling fish is an art that, when mastered, brings out the best in your seafood. Here are some expert tips to ensure your fish is perfectly grilled every time:
Choose the right fish: firm, hearty fish like salmon, tuna, and swordfish hold up well on the grill. Our new collection features these options, as well as a whole lot more.
Preheat your grill: Ensure your grill is hot enough to prevent the fish from sticking. Aim for a temperature between 190-220°.
Oil the grill grates: Brush the grates with oil before placing the fish to ensure easy flipping and prevent sticking.
Keep the skin on: If your fish has skin, grill it skin-side down first. This helps protect the flesh from drying out and adds extra flavour.
Don’t overcook: Fish cooks quickly, usually within 8-10 minutes depending on thickness. Look for opaque flesh and flakes that separate easily with a fork.
Pairing fish with seasonal vegetables
Pairing fish with the right vegetables can elevate your dish to new heights. Here are some seasonal vegetables that complement our fresh fish perfectly:
Asparagus: Lightly charred asparagus adds a subtle crunch and earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with grilled salmon.
Courgette: The flavour and soft texture make it a perfect side for rich, oily fish like mackerel.
Tomatoes: Fresh, juicy tomatoes bring a burst of acidity that balances the richness of fish such as tuna.
Health benefits of adding fish to your diet
Fish is not only delicious but also packed with numerous health benefits. Here are a few reasons to incorporate more fish into your summer meals:
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: these essential fats are crucial for brain health, reducing inflammation, and supporting heart health.
High-quality protein: fish provides a lean source of protein, which is vital for muscle repair and growth.
Vitamins and minerals: fish is an excellent source of vitamins like D and B2 (riboflavin) and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium.
Low in saturated fat: unlike red meats, fish is low in saturated fats, making it a heart-healthy option.
