There are certain times of year that many of us immediately associate with certain types of food. The wintertime conjures up visions of rich, hot meals with deep flavours for example. But in the warmer, summer months, flavours that are fresher and lighter are the order of the day.
This is where fresh fish from Fine Food Specialist comes in. We have a really wide selection of delicious fish for you to try this summer, so in our latest blog, we wanted to pick out some of our favourites.
Tasty fish dishes are often associated with summer holidays, as people look to try something different as they venture to foreign climes to catch some summer sun. So when looking for some summer cooking inspiration, be sure to consider our fresh fish range.
Fine Fillet Fish Options
We’ll start with our whole fresh Lemon Soles. This British flatfish is caught off the south coast of England and really is the ideal centrepiece to a light lunch in the summer months. These fish have a sweet white flesh, and aren’t lemony as the name suggests! They can be dusted in flour and pan-fried, and go really well with a drizzle of black butter sauce.
Other additions to this beautiful fish dish include lemon juice and chopped parsley. Another great option is Turbot. With delicate, intimate flavours, Turbot is the best roasted whole in the oven. We recommend serving with a creamy truffled pomme puree and a mousseline sauce.
And if you’ve not tried Red Snapper yet, then make sure you do so this summer. This hugely popular white fish offers a combination of sweet, nutty flavour and firm texture to the discerning palate.
The Red Snapper is a really flexible fresh fish option, going well with herbs and chillies in equal measure. It goes well with soy sauce, coriander and ginger, and is a fine meal option for any cook this summer.
Superb Sashimi Grade Products
One of the most popular uses of fresh fish is for sushi, and we have a host of sashimi-grade options available for you to purchase at Fine Food Specialist. Sashimi-grade fish is caught and handled in a way that prioritises keeping it fresh and of the highest quality.
A number of our fresh fish options meet this grade, and you can find your perfect sashimi-grade purchase from our store. Take a look at our fresh Stonebass. This product can be served raw and is best thinly sliced and marinated in chilli, ginger and soy or dashi vinegar. This Stonebass is also delicious when cooked.
A really popular sashimi option is our Tuna Steak. This can be finely diced and is delicious when served with olive oil, fresh chili or lime juice. Sashimi-grade Swordfish is also available, and this is a strong choice for any summer barbeque as it tastes delicious when char-grilled and pan-fried. At Fine Food Specialist, we love bringing hard to find products to our customers.
As such, take a look at our Hirimasa Kingfish and Hamachi products from Japan. These exotic flavours are a delightful thing to try in the summertime. And if you want something more familiar, take a look at our Lyme Bay Mackerel and Sea Trout products too.
These are a delightful centrepiece for any summer dish, so don’t miss out. Be sure to take a look through our full selection of seafood and fish, whilst our In Season range is great for finding ideal additions to your plate all year round.
