    Thanks both. I think there is squid in it as well. One of those seafood selection things.

    The laska looks nice!

    Our tea tonight was seafood pasta!

    In a wok I put 2 tins chopped tomatoes, a slug of white wine, chilli and garlic (to your taste), bring to the boil and then leave on a high simmer until reduced by about half. While cooking down, I cook some linguine in boiling water and drain when ready.

    Once the tomato sauce has reduced, add the defrosted and drained seafood mix (sometimes I add extra prawns to make it stretch further) and heat until seafood is warmed through. Serve on the pasta with a nce crispy side salad - yum!

    I had a seafood pizza once, lush.

    Either make your own base (far better) or use a ready made one, I use ready made bolognese sauce instead of tomato sauce (more flavour) then top with defrosted seafood and mozzarella, finished with a bit of mature Cheddar or Parmesan. Lovely!
    If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

    I have a bag of frozen Birds Eye Seafood Cocktail purchased before christmas that I want to get rid of.

    Any ideas on what on earth I can do with it? I'm at a loss! (PS: it has to cheap! )
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.

    In a nice savoury white sauce then fill pancakes. heat thru in oven. Mmmmmmmmm

    With pasta sort of like carbonara, or with tomato based sauce - marinara

    With rice, seafood risotto.
