Hugh’s Fish Fight FREE iPhone App

R G Morris and Son have been delighted with and are proud to support Hugh’s Fish Fight so we thought we’d better tell you about the Hugh’s Fish Fight FREE iPhone App which you can download here

We know it can sometimes seem confusing to decide which fish you should be eating so Hugh worked with the Marine Conservation Society and Selfridges to make it really simple for you. Hugh’s Fish Fight app contains MCS’ easy-to-use lists of Fish to Eat and Fish to Avoid with illustrations, tips and videos.

If you like eating out, Fish2Fork’s restaurant guide is also included in the app to make it easier for you to do so sustainably.

Hugh has included some of his personal favourite fish recipes and there are many others from top chefs who were involved in Selfridges Project Ocean Campaign.

A Quick, Tasty Recipe – Salmon and Couscous

Here’s a delightfully simple but really tasty salmon and couscous recipe from the Jamie Oliver Recipes (UK) website:

Ingredients

• 115g/4oz couscous
• 1 x 200g/7oz salmon fillet, skin on, scaled and pinboned
• extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 small courgette, sliced into batons
• 1 small handful of asparagus tips
• 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
• 2 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
• juice of 1/2 a lemon
• a small handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon crème fraîche

Method…

Put your couscous in a bowl, then pour over just enough boiling water to cover it. Set aside for 3 minutes to allow the couscous to soak up the water.

Slice the salmon widthways into finger-size strips, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Heat a small non-stick frying pan and add the salmon strips on their side. Scatter over the courgette, asparagus tips and chilli and cook for 2 minutes, turning the salmon over halfway.

Mix the tomatoes, lemon juice, 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the coriander into the couscous and season to taste.

Remove the salmon strips to a plate and add the couscous to the veggies left in the pan. Mix together and then put the salmon strips back into the pan on top of the couscous, place a lid on and put back on a high heat for a minute.

To serve, slide everything on to your plate and spoon over some crème fraîche. Quick and tasty!

Eat well, Live Well

We should be eating at least two portions of fish a week, including one of oily fish.

Fish and shellfish are good sources of a variety of vitamins and minerals, and oily fish is particularly rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Fish and shellfish are also good sources of essential vitamins, such as niacin, and minerals, such as selenium and iodine.

Different types of seafood also give different health benefits…

Oily Fish

• Includes fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout and herring
• Rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which help to prevent heart disease
• A good source of vitamans A and D

White Fish

• Includes fish such as haddock, plaice, pollack, coley and cod
• Very low in fat … just like beans, pulses and chicken (without the skin)
• A much healthier alternative to red or processed meat
• Contains some omega 3 fatty acids

Shellfish

• Includes prawns, mussels and langoustine
• Very low in fat
• An excellent source of selenium, zinc, iodine and copper
• Mussels, oysters, squid and crab are also good sources of omega 3 fatty acids

Fish where you can also eat the bones

• Includes whitebait, canned sardines, pilchards and salmon
• Contains calcium and phosphorous to help make our bones stronger

If you want to make the healthier choice, remember to go for steamed, baked or grilled fish and shellfish, rather than fried. This is because frying makes fish and shellfish much higher in fat, especially if they’re cooked in batter… but this doesn’t mean you need to stop enjoying an occasional portion of fish and chips.

Take a look at our recipes section for healthy ways to prepare and cook fish and shellfish.

Are there enough fish in the sea?

People who eat a lot of fish every week should try to eat as wide a variety as possible, not only for good health but also because of concerns about numbers of fish.

R G Morris choose fish and shellfish that comes from responsibly managed sources, this means it has been caught in a way that allows the fish population to continue in the future.
