FISHY DEALINGS: Ideas on how to get adventurous with seafood

Most of us are in dire need of education and inspiration when it comes to fish. We might be able to squeeze a bit of lemon over a de-boned fillet, and even rustle up a decent fish pie, but there's no reason why we should fear more exotic-sounding recipes. In fact you might find particularly if you're encouraging children to enjoy eating fish that more flavoursome recipes are more popular.

Anthony Worrall Thompson suggests getting the kids involved in the whole process: "Sometimes kids can be reluctant to eat seafood, but getting them involved in every stage can really help. Take them along to your local fish counter or fishmonger to choose the fish and find out where it comes from. Then let them help prepare and cook the fish and they will be eager to taste the end result."
