How much fish do you eat in winter?

[user1483390742]

Our fish consumption goes down significantly in winter. It just doesn't fill and satisfy my lot when it is freezing outside. They just want meat stews and dumplings, shepherds pies, roasts, etc.
In summer we eat fish most of the time.
Anyone else find this? Ideas for hearty fish dinners welcomed!

DD's addicted to fish pie at the moment, and has tuna sandwiches twice a week at club and play scheme.

So, quite a lot! 😂

We had fish just yesterday! A kind of fish stew - cod, chorizo, chopped tomato and butterbeans, with green beans and crusty bread.

Also prawn curry, and Jamie Oliver's white fish tagine with couscous from 15 minute meals.

I don't mean we ate all those things yesterday! They are things we eat in the winter...

We manage to fit in tuna/tinned salmon/ mackerel sandwiches/wraps/pasta for lunches a few times a week. I'm thinking more evening meal.

We fish in the summer and stock the freezer up, this year we managed to catch enough for one fish meal a week Oct-Apr.

We've been eating fish curry and fish tagine quite a lot recently. I use frozen cod for them. I find them really lovely in winter, lots of warming sauce and spices soaked into rice/cous cous. Yum!

Bevbrook- do those meals fill your family up? I have teenage boys who say white fish is like eating air!

I want fish pie so badly right now. I'll be heading to the shops on the way home.
Fish or prawn curry is just as filling as a meaty curry surely?

Sorry, ShowMe! 😂

i find salmon filling

Oily fish is satisfying I find.

Salmon and mash goes down well here.

I pan fried some sea bass for DS2 and I yesterday. He's not keen on fish that actually looks like fish(!) but I presented it to him skinned (having fried it in a little olive oil and butter, coated in some seasoned flour). Had it with mash and broccoli sautéed in soy sauce and garlic.

My go-to comfort dinner is baked salmon (with lemon and tarragon) and a baked potato, dripping in butter. I've usually got some salmon bits in the freezer (so much cheaper than fresh and cooks in hardly any time).

I had fish pie yesterday, it’s one of the most filling and warming winter dishes there is!

Also love koulibiac (sp?) which is fish with a mix similar to kedgeree then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. Proper belly filler that is. But time consuming to make.

We like to have baked fish fillets with stodgy sides in winter too - things like dauphinois or baked potatoes.

I think our fish consumption is level all year, but we just change the format for the seasons.

My boys are eight and ten, so they probably have smaller stomachs right now - we have the bottomless pit teen years to come!

Home made fish cakes can be really filling. I like tuna with sweet potato and chilli.
I also do cod fillets marinated in a mix of curry paste and yoghurt the topped in mango chutney and baked.
Tuna steaks are quite ‘meaty’, lovely with a balsamic glaze.

I have a bottomless dh and he feels the same re fish in winter.

Fish cakes always fill him up because of the quantity of mash

Curry works if I serve it with flatbread and dhal alongside

Fish pie (again mash quantities help)

But otherwise I struggle tbh.

Cod wrapped in pancetta is nice and may be more filling.

I agree re fish pie, just had some tonight actually, with peas. I probably have fish a couple of times a week, I'm not eating meat or chicken, so I feel I need it.

I love kedgeree and then prawn,pea and asparagus risotto - both tick the stodge box for me!

I got round to making the fish pie last night. DH has been off his food with this awful virus and has lost 9lb over the last week. He ate two great platefuls. result!
Creamy buttery fishiness. Thanks for the thread: a timely reminder as i hadn't made it for ages!

Does someone have a fish curry or tagine type recipe they’ll share?
