A big welcome to Fish In A Box, that has joined the FoodLovers Britain stable of approved food businesses.
The FIAB team are based in Newport, Shropshire and provide a national fresh fish mail order service with FREE delivery in some areas and subsidised delivery costs elsewhere throughout the UK.
We’re not the only ones to recognise the quality of service of Fish In A Box – the company was a winner of the Heart Of England Fine Foods Special Diamond Award 2008; finalist in the The Seafood Authority Independent Retailer of The year award 2007 and a Slow Food UK Bursary Award Winner 2008.
FIAB offer top grade fish from all around Britain’s coast supplied by day boat fishermen in the main, including white-fish, oil rich fish, flat-fish, fresh water fish, smoked fish, shellfish and specialties. The fish is sent in overnight on refrigerated transport to the processing unit where it is prepared to individual specification in temperature controlled conditions and packed for dispatch the same day.
The head fishmonger is the third of his generation in the trade, he knows what to look for and always gives best prices on the freshest fish and seafood. It’s a complete service by knowledgeable staff, and we heartily recommend the Fish In A Box company as representing everything best in British food.
Recipe of the Month – Mackerel with Samphire, Gooseberry & Mustard Puree
Ransom's Restaurant
This month’s recipe from Food Lovers Britain is from Chef Naz of Ramson’s Restaurant. He has chosen a summery version of the classic mackerel and gooseberry combination.
Mackerel is a summer fish, but must be line-caught as it is invariably damaged when it is trawled; ensure that the fish does not feel soft and has no fishy smell. Samphire (which you would get from a good fishmonger) and gooseberries (which should be quite hard and very green) are summer produce too, providing flavours and textures which complement lightly cooked mackerel to perfection.
