oily fish recipes

Not asian but very good

Pichard bake

1 large tin pilchards
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 pint approx cheese sauce - thick-ish
pasta-cooked & rinsed
cheese to top

break up the pichards -you can remove any bones if prefered at this point - add put in the bottom of an oven proof casserole dish.
pour the tinned tomatoes over & gently mix into the top of the pichards (so you kinda get 3 layers, fish, fish & toms & then just toms)
now pour over some of the pasta & stir into the top tomato layer
then add the rest of the pasta & pour over the cheese sauce & top with a little cheese
bake for about 1/2 -1hr -depending on oven temp till hot all the way through

when served you should still get distinct layers & it should be quite firm - doesnt always work that well lol

Yes, rabialiones, tinned fish is cooked and ready to go, you can eat it straight out of the tin. But we is Ladies, innit, so we don't do dat. Have you tried sardines on toast ? Tuna in a Salade Niçoise ? Fish Pie or fish cakes or gefilte fish made with tinned salmon ? You can use tinned fish in most recipies you'd use raw fish really. You can easily find recipies for all these, but if not let me know and I'll give more info.

Do eat the bones in tinned fish, they are soft and a good source of calcium

i can honestly say i never actually knew that! i buy tinned sardines in olive oil from M&S. you learn something new everyday. thanks.

can someone help me with a new query (don't want to hijack this thread). i wanted to make a tuna sandwich. when i saw the variety of tinned stuff in M&S i did not know what to do. they have tuna in springwater, tuna in water and tuna in olive oil. which is most suitable for a tuna sandwich? i think all three were swordfish tuna. thanks all

Hi free - healthwise we always try and buy the tuna in springwater.

Brine = salt (and OH's family have a history of high blood pressure)
Oil = fat (and I don't need to store any more of that up)

My partner has been told by the doctor that he needs to eat more oily fish, can anyone help with some ideas of what he can eat and some recipies.

He goes fishing for trout, but he normally puts them back so i will ask him to keep some so that I can cook with them -any trout recipies would also be helpful.

Thanks

Pink.

Hi fishhawks,

I found this link from the Food Standards Agency which lists which fish are oily and which aren't. There are also some oily fish recipes on UKTV food.

These older threads might give you some more suggestions:

Cann't face a sardine can you help?

Don't forget tinned fish - mackerel, salmon, herring are all oily and all come in tins. You can use any of them in recipies which call for cooked fish - like fishcakes for example. I love tinned salmon in pasta dishes, too.

presumably he has to get some Omega 3 ?

Vegetarian sources of this ( much better than eating a dead fishy!) are ;

wild fruit , berries , leafy veg, flaxseed , rapeseed, hempseed , walnuts , the list goes on.

Veggie alternatives are better sources any way!:T
