Food & Drink

Campari and vodka cured salmon

A classic bar-side drink that I am very fond of is the Garibaldi. Made with Campari and orange juice, the bitter notes and fresh, frothy citrus blend perfectly. I’ve taken inspiration from this colourful duo and found it works beautifully for curing a side of salmon with juniper, pink peppercorns, a hit of vodka and the subtle green, feathery notes of chervil.

Citrus-stuffed whole red mullet with black olive tapenade toasts

Oh-so pretty and eye catching, red mullet really is a beauty. I find it is more of a fishy fish in flavour, in the sense that it is stronger yet still sweet. Roasting it in the oven with citrus and thyme brings zing and colour. The tapenade will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days, so it can be made in advance.

Emily Scott

Crumbed sardines with a tomato and shallot dressing

Sardines and tomatoes are great housemates and I always find myself bringing them together in recipes. Ask your fishmonger to butterfly the sardines for you.

Emily Scott

Lemony orzo with tuna, avocado, spring onions and mint

Orzo translates as ‘barley’. It makes me think immediately of The Hobbit and I am transported to Bilbo Baggins’ house, Bag End - I am sure Bilbo would have whipped up this dish using ingredients from his various larders, which were treasure troves of pastas, pulses and jars.

Emily Scott

Hot-smoked trout Caesar salad

Here’s one of my go-to salads (there are many variations). It has hot-smoked trout, croutons and lettuce, and I lighten things up by using crème fraîche in the dressing instead of mayonnaise. Little gem and romaine lettuces are perfect leaves for this salad. If preferred, you can swap out the trout for tinned herring or flakes of mackerel.

Emily Scott

Sea bass with Malaysian dressing

Sea bass is perfect if you are new to fish cookery. While this is perhaps a celebratory recipe, it works if you are short on time, too, as it is so quick and easy to prepare. I have many recipes from my grandmother, inspired by her time in Malaysia, and this one is a favourite. It’s a recipe that also works very well with whole bream - simply divide the dressing among four bream instead of one whole sea bass.

Emily Scott

Barbecued prawn tacos with asparagus, lemon and parsley

These tacos are filled with tarragon mayo, smoky charred asparagus and blushing pink, garlicky, chilli prawns that are drunk on sherry and cooked over the coals.

Emily Scott

Anchovy and thyme puff pastry straws

The anchovies are wearing the trousers in these buttery puff pastry straws. Their salty notes marry perfectly with the heat from the chilli and fragrant thyme leaves. Perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a picnic.
