Smoked Haddock Tart followed by Spice-Glazed Cornish Plaice

iCurrently out of stock - please check back soon.

These tasty little handmade tarts are loaded with rich smoky haddock, an allium hit from lightly cooked leeks, and a delicate herby top note from chives, in a short pastry case. Our chef’s sauce gribiche is the perfect foil – packed with cornichon, capers, lemon, parsley and the all-important eggs from St Ewe. St Ewe produce fantastic, free-range eggs here in Cornwall, known for their legendary flavour and gorgeous bright orange yolks!

To follow, a delightful sharing-fish dish with a pleasingly tactile preparation method. Our Chefs have produced an excitingly spicy rubbing marinade of tomato, paprika, fennel seed, sumac and cayenne pepper, to be applied, along with a little oil, to a large Cornish Plaice. When placed under the grill and cooked, it transforms into a dark and piquant glaze covering the tender white flesh beneath. Served with a peppy, aromatic pickled fennel dish, alongside refreshing salad with a zesty lemon dressing. Plaice is a really underrated flat fish, with a beautiful subtle flavour. A genuinely sustainable option, with healthy stocks in Cornish waters being fished responsibly.

Wine & Seafood Pairing with Fiona Beckett
We’ve also teamed up with food and wine pairing expert and journalist Fiona Beckett, who has created three extra special wine pairings to complement our Easter Seafood Collection. Each main course has been given its perfect partner in wine, selected to enhance the beautiful flavours of the dish and elevate the whole dining event. Add one to your order and dive into Fiona’s wonderfully accessible tasting notes (no pretension here) for an especially enjoyable and enlightening seafood experience.

“Finding the best wine to go with a dish is like finding the perfect side. Just think of those occasions on holiday when you've enjoyed a plate of seafood with the local wine and how those occasions have stuck in your memory. It just raises the whole eating experience to another level.”

The perfect wine for this glorious plaice dish is Pirueta Albariño – why not add a bottle to your order? Available on our Easter Collection page, where you can also read Fiona’s tasting notes.

Thank you for your email and to let you know that once again the fish is beautiful. I have tried the plaice, it was so fresh that it only took 8mins to cook. Thank you for the free salmon etc.

Joan Clarke, Kent

Absolutely delicious!

I just wanted to say how very much we have enjoyed your lobster bisque and the plaice fillets with pea purée. Absolutely delicious - definitely top restaurant quality food. The fish is wonderful and so fresh. I know that I am an irregular shopper with you, but every time I am delighted with my purchases.
