At the Fish Counter

Look first at the marble slab and always give priority to the fish.

Don’t be afraid of substitutions. The golden rule is to make sure you buy the freshest fish available, which can often mean changing your menu plans at the last moment. A flat fish will adapt to any of the cod recipes. If turbot is too expensive, don’t feel you can’t do the recipe with another flat fish or even haddock or salmon.

Don’t mock frozen fish. Often frozen aboard ship within hours of being caught, they are a great alternative to fresh fish.
