Thunly slice the onion and then in a little oil sauté until beginning to turn translucent. Add the tomatoes and harissa spice mix and simmer until the tomatoes have reduced by about a third. Leave the tomatoes simmering and while they finish flash fry the monkfish for about a minute on either side.
For the Sauce
This one looks jazzy but really doesn’t take much time at all. Start off by bringing a saucepan of water to the boil and then add a generous pinch of salt. Heat another pan and fry the sea bass skin side down for about 3 minutes. After about a minute put the broccoli, asparagus and samphire into the boiling water. Cook for about 1 minute then take off the heat.
Heat another small pan and melt the butter, then add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Give everything a good stir and keep on a low heat. Turn the sea bass over and cook for a further minute, then leave in the pan but take it off the heat. Finally, in another pan steam open the mussels.
Put them in a dry pan and cover, it should take about a minute for them to open and then drain them. Put the vegetables in the centre of the plate and surround it with the mussels.
Put the sea bass on top and then drizzle over the sauce.

Simple really… Shred the cabbage, dice the pepper, then in a wok stir fry for about 2 minutes and season liberally. In a frying pan, bring some water to the boil and poach the haddock for about 2 minutes either side.
Then leaving the fish in the water, poach the egg in the same pan until it’s just cooked. That way you should get a nice runny yolk, and that really is it, plate it up and enjoy.

Heat the oil in a fry pan and then add the tortilla to the pan and fry on either side until nice and golden. It should take about 2 minutes either side on a high heat.
Put the now crispy tortilla on a plate, top with the watercress and put the prawns and crayfish on top. Drizzle the mayo (I use the squeezy one) and balsamic syrup in a cheffy style and then enjoy!

Right then, start off by prepping the veg. Either blend the cauliflower or chop it finely and then stick it in a pan and stir fry for 5 minutes. Once that’s done finely chop the onion and in the same pan, fry until just cooked. At this point add the harissa paste stir, and then add the water and vinegar.
Leave the harissa mix to reduce, while that’s doing its thing, coat the bream in flour and fry in another pan until crispy on both sides. Then, leave that to one side to rest. In yet another pan (more washing up) boil the tenderstem for about 3 minutes, you want it to be crispy.
Your harissa mix should be nicely reduced now, add the honey, cumin, paprika, raisins and cinnamon and give it all a good stir. Put the bream back in the pan and cover with the mixture.
Finally plate it all up, cauliflower and tenderstem followed by the bream and then the reduced harissa sauce. Lastly, top with the coriander, easy no?

In a small bowl mix the garlic, soy and honey together. Then, in a saucepan boil the tenderstem and samphire for around 3 minutes, drain and leave to one side. In a heavy bottom pan or wok heat some oil and after seasoning well, pan fry the fish until its crispy on both sides and leave to rest in a warm place.
In the same pan stir fry the beansprouts and chilli before adding the tenderstem and samphire. Add the soy sauce mix little by little making sure the veg is properly coated.
All that’s left is to put the veg on a plate, top with the fish and enjoy!

Cut some slits into the skin on the back of the fillet, this will stop the fish from curling in the pan as much. Heat a little oil in a small frying pan and at the same time, in a saucepan bring the samphire and tenderstem up to the boil. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes on either side and then leave to rest.
In the pan used for the fish, melt the butter and then add the lemon juice, capers and garlic powder. Give it all a good stir. Drain the vegetables, plate up and lay the gurnard on top, then cover it all in the butter and caper sauce.

I’ll warn you now there is a little bit of faffing around with this, it is however well worth it. Start off by prepping your seafood (or you could of course ask your fishmonger to do that for you). You’re going to want peel the prawns, do this by taking off the head and then running your thumb under the shell towards the tail.
Throw away the shells but keep the heads they are lovely deep fried, trust me. Leave the prawns to one side and thinly slice the octopus separating the tentacles. Again leave those to one side and then slice the scallops through the middle so you get eight discs.
Boil the kettle and then stick a large pan on the heat. Once the pan is scorching hot, add little oil and then stir fry the octopus, followed by the prawns and finally the scallops. Leave them all to one side to rest. In another pan cook the pasta until softened. Just before you drain the pasta add the samphire to blanch for about a minute.
Now for the mussels put them in a small pan, put on a high heat and cover. Cook for about three minutes or until they are all opened. You don’t need to add water there is enough moisture in the mussels to steam them open.
Back in the pan you used for the seafood, melt the butter, add the capers, crush the garlic into the butter and stir. Finally add the pasta, samphire, mussels and the other seafood and stir for about a minute or so making sure its all well coated. Transfer it to a bowl and dive in!

In a bowl mix the mayo, garlic, paprika and mixed herbs together. Put the mixture on top of the the fish and top with the panko. Bake the fish in the oven at 180c for about 15 minutes, until cooked through.
While the fish cooks, Cut the chorizo into small dice and fry in a little oil until just cooked (leave to one side). In another pan, add the samphire and just enough water to cover. Bring to boil and then turn off and leave to one side. Cut the pickle into rounds.
Once the fish is done, put on a plate, scatter the chorizo and pickle and top with the samphire. Now you have some fancy fish for your dinner!
Honestly it cannot be simpler or faster. In a wok or large saucepan, cook the mussels in a dry pan until they’re all open (discard any that don’t open). Drain the excess liquid then add the sauce. Stir to make sure it’s all coated. Serve with some crusty bread straight from the pan.
