Weekday dinners call for quick, simple and easy recipes with seafood, with minimal washing up. We’ve compiled some our best seafood recipes that require just one pot, pan or wok.
Mussels are the catch of the day – pop them in a pot with some risoni and herbs, with beer and bacone, or with lap cheong and wood-ear mushrooms for some Chinese flavours. With some super-fresh sashimi-grade fish, poke-style salad bowls will be on the table in the blink of an eye; and we have a couple of quick curries with snapper or prawns. Plus, chef Sean Moran from Bondi restaurant Sean’s Panaroma shares his recipe for poached Murray cod with dill.
Selecting sustainable seafood is important when it comes to fish. While nine in 10 Australians say that they’re concerned about fish sustainability, only a fraction of us put our money where our mouth is. So, Gourmet Traveller created a sustainable seafood guide to shine a light on the ways you can be a better fish eater, from buying local and lesser-known fish species to handy online tool Good Fish Bad Fish. Or check out Australia’s independent sustainable seafood guide, Good Fish.
