Christmas fish recipes
Fish more than earns its place at your festive table. Our best Christmas fish recipes include showstoppers like salmon en croute, whole roast fish and Rick Stein’s lemon sole with potted shrimp.
Start the Christmas Eve festivities with classic fish pie, a giant prawn cocktail to share or the Hairy Biker’s lobster mac ‘n’ cheese (yes, we’ve thrown in a few extra-special seafood dishes).
Kick off Christmas Day with a smoked salmon breakfast. Pescatarians will be delighted with Christmas Day starters like mackerel pate and salmon blinis. Christmas fish mains and Boxing Day showstoppers include Raymond Blanc’s whole roast salmon, whisky-cured trout and salmon wellington.
