Choosing Sustainable Seafood for Christmas Lunch

There's nothing quite like enjoying delicious seafood outside with family and friends at Christmas.

Even better is knowing that your seafood is sustainable - meaning there's plenty more fish in the sea for future generations.

To know your seafood is sustainable, just look for the MSC blue fish tick when shopping.

Choose Sustainable Seafood

The MSC blue fish tick means your seafood can be traced back to a certified sustainable fishery.

Time saving tips for storing seafood this Christmas

We teamed up with MSC supporter chef Courtney Roulston to provide you with some time-saving tips for storing seafood this Christmas.

Courtney says, always store raw prawns in some iced water in a bowl in the fridge. This prevents them from oxidising and keeps them fresh. 

For crispy skin on fish, I like to leave the fillets of fish on a try just loosely covered with a Chux cloth skin side up. This is a similar process to getting crispy pork crackle. Having the fish skin dry means you will get really crunchy skin when cooking it.
