Starter

This seafood starter is a delicious, light dish that would be perfect for a light meal with friends on the patio or as a starter for a dinner party. It's also a wonderful dish for anyone who wants to eat healthier but still wants to keep some flavour in their life. The key to getting this meal perfect is to buy fresh fish from your local fishmonger or supermarket. Any white fish will do, but I think cod is my favourite here. I like to serve this dish in the middle of the table with serving cutlery so that people can take what they like - it's more social and much more authentic.
