30+ of our favourite fish recipes

We’ve got a boatful of fish recipes, from show-stopping whole salmon centrepieces to this healthier fish and chip tray bake.

Fishcakes are a firm family favourite, so we’ve rounded up our ultimate recipes – including zesty lime and coriander fishcakes and these smoked salmon fishcakes – for a speedy seafood supper. And if time is of the essence, this cost-effective Sicilian pasta recipe uses store cupboard staples, and will be on the table in just 20 minutes.

When it comes to that classic winter warmer, there’s Good Housekeeping’s long-loved fish pie, featuring plump prawns and salmon. Fancy a twist on tradition? Why not try our Bisque fish pie or piri piri fish pie (trust us, it works).

Many of these recipes can be served for an occasion-worthy weekend brunch, including these rye flatbreads with hot smoked salmon and Scandi-style pickles, while this simple smoked salmon tart is a Christmastime crowd-pleaser.

Using leftover crispy roast potatoes adds an extra dimension to these luxury fish cakes (but you could use plain or shop-bought mash if you don’t have any roasties going).
