Pescatarian

[Swissroll12]

Hi my dd is coming home from uni for Christmas and she’s told us that she’s Pescatarian now
Any ideas of Boxing Day meals please ? I usually cook ham

side of salmon if you want an alternative. Or do your ham and accompaniments and couldn’t she just have something else if need to pad hers out like a veggie ready bake thing for one. Like those M&S do?

I was going to say side of salmon too!

M&S silvery glazed salmon sides or Aldi do a nice 3 fish roast - lots of lovely options

We also do ham on Boxing Day and have a pescatarian guest this year. We do a buffet and I was thinking about adding a side of salmon, it would look impressive. Instead I’ve decided to add a quiche so as not to over cater as we are still doing ham for the others.
Will do an additional dessert as well as they won’t be able to have any of the Boxing Day trifle either.

Do the ham anyway and something like side of salmon or smoked salmon quiche.

Side of salmon and use the leftovers for a quiche or creamy pasta dish another day

Side of salmon en croute

Thankyou all so much for your ideas they are greatly appreciated

Crab, salmon, prawns, muscles, scallops, lobster, trout, tuna, eel, whitebait, soufflé, quiche, plus all the usual vegetarian options.

Quiche is seriously uninspiring though! The salmon would be much nicer. I do a ham and a side of salmon (BBQ'd) for our festive buffet. Both go down well.

It’s Christmas I’d do sea bass or a black tiger prawn dish, salmon always reminds me of quick weeknight teas not special Christmas meals!

Very true. I was going to save the side of salmon for another meal on the night before they left. Need to rethink as I forgot my guest dislikes pastry!

Ah, yes. That's a complication!

I'd do the salmon. I wouldn't worry about over catering. Gammon and baked salmon both freeze beautifully. I'd wrap up individual portions of any leftovers and freeze them for quick easy meals/sandwiches over the next few weeks.

Salmon is quite dear now so many people won't be having it as a matter of course.
