Dishes of Fish and Seafood

Fish and seafood dish recipes cover a broad section of everyday and festive cooking: oven-baked fish, fish cakes, stewed plates with vegetables in tomato sauce, classic fish soup, plus seafood with pasta and salads. The section gathers home step-by-step recipes with photography.

The variety of fish defines technique and serving. Fatty varieties – salmon, trout, mackerel, herring – hold their shape in the oven and work well on the grill or in foil. Lean white fish – cod, pollock, hake, haddock – suit cakes, pies or stewing in tomato-vegetable sauce. River fish – carp, pike, perch – call for delicate handling and pair with milk and sour cream sauces. Seafood – king and tiger shrimp, mussels, squid, octopus, scallops – cook in 5–10 minutes and work in pasta, rice, salads and appetisers.

By cooking method, the section covers baking in the oven, pan-frying in batter or breadcrumbs, grilling, stewing in tomato and sour cream, steaming, plus smoking and salt-curing. Tradition contributes ukha (Russian fish soup), aspic with gelatine, herring under a fur coat, fish under marinade, home-canned sprats and capelin.
