BBQ fish and seafood recipes
Five-spiced prawn skewers with cucumber salad recipe
Chinese five-spice is so intriguing, it immediately has you guessing ‘what’s that spice?’ Star anise, Sichuan peppers, fennel, cassia and cloves certainly make a delicious combination.
Barbecued whole sea bass with fennel mayonnaise recipe
This is Rick Stein’s favourite way of cooking whole fish on a barbecue, but it can be quite tricky and you might want to try cooking it under a grill the first time round. What really works in this is the mayonnaise that’s flavoured with fennel herb as well as a splash of pastis and some chopped chives.
Barbecued zesty cod burgers recipe
There is something irresistible about the fresh, vibrant flavours of lime, coriander and green chilli that sing of summer. The cod burgers can be refrigerated or frozen in advance if need be.
Barbecued or grilled prawns with tarragon tartare sauce recipe
According to chef Signe Johansen, who came up with this dish, seafood is king during summertime in Scandinavia. People are not inclined to spend hours preparing and cooking elaborate dishes when it’s warm outside; after all, summers are so short in the region and everyone needs to top up their vitamin D. This is a superb dish, one that easily scales up to feed a crowd.
