The beauty of fish is that it cooks quickly, meaning dinner lands on the table fast. Quickly fry or roast a few fillets of red mullet, swordfish or ocean trout; braise some snapper in a yellow curry; or, don’t cook it at all. Sashimi, poke bowls and raw fish salads make fast fish dinners a breeze.
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.
