Lemon. Just a little squeeze makes the fish shout louder.

Herbs. Add fresh tarragon, chives or parsley to the pan while you’re frying or mix into butter to melt over grilled fish.

Strong flavours. Pickles and relishes are wonderful, but do need to be partnered with a robust cooking method and toned down, even if it is just with a little whipped cream, mayonnaise or hollandaise. Horseradish goes particularly well with grilled or roasted fish and a spoonful of pickle or relish can be served alongside oily fish.
