Fish Seasoning

A seafood blend of coriander, cumin, garlic, turmeric, black pepper, crushed chilli and fenugreek leaves. It is aromatic and earthy with a mild heat, and the fenugreek leaves give it a slightly bitter, hay-like edge that is unusual in a fish rub and works well against oily fish.

Coriander and cumin bring bright, citrusy warmth, garlic and turmeric add savoury depth and colour, black pepper and chilli provide the gentle heat, and fenugreek leaves lend the subtle bitterness that ties the flavours together.

How to use it

Use it on grilled, baked or pan-seared fish, around two teaspoons per fillet, and in seafood marinades, soups and stews. Technique tip: mix the seasoning with a little oil and lemon juice into a paste and rub it on twenty minutes before cooking, and no longer. Citrus left on fish for an hour starts to firm the flesh before it ever reaches the pan.
