What’s the best way to store fresh seafood at home?

Fresh seafood should be kept in the coldest part of the fridge, ideally on ice in a sealed container to prevent excess moisture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a lid. Most fresh fish is best eaten within two days, while shellfish should be prepared as soon as possible.

How should I cook fish fillets for the best flavour?

Fish fillets are best cooked quickly over medium to high heat. Pan-frying, grilling, baking or steaming are popular methods. Avoid overcooking, as this can dry out the flesh. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, lemon and fresh herbs allows the natural flavour to shine.

Why is buying locally sourced seafood important?

Locally sourced seafood is often fresher due to shorter transport times and supports regional fishers and communities. It may also reduce environmental impact compared to imported options. Choosing local varieties helps promote sustainable fishing practices and ensures access to seasonal, high-quality produce.
