Seafood Tips

Buying it well and not overcooking it

Buy It Smelling of the Sea

Fresh fish smells clean and briny. If it smells fishy it is already past its best, whatever the label says

Dry the Skin First

Pat it properly dry and salt it just before it hits the pan, or the skin steams instead of crisping

Stop Early

Fish keeps cooking off the heat. Pull it while the centre is barely translucent and let it rest

Mind the Shells

Discard any mussel or clam that stays open before cooking, or stays shut after
