This year (2008) sees the 10th birthday of Loch Fyne
Restaurants (www.lochfyne.com),
the UK’s most popular seafood restaurant group.
 To
celebrate its 10th year, Loch Fyne Restaurants has compiled
a list of ‘top ten’ sustainable fish dishes,
with contributions from staff, guests and partner companies.
Mark Derry, Managing Director and company founder said:
“We asked some of our favourite people to give
us their most loved recipes using fish and shellfish
from sustainable sources. We discovered that many of
the people we work with day to day - the oyster farmer
from the loch, the salmon farmers, even our waiting
staff - have a real talent in the kitchen so we are
excited to share their recipes as we celebrate our birthday.”
This recipe comes from Douglas Wright, Executive Chef
at Loch Fyne, who likes Marinated Fresh Salmon with
a Beetroot and Fennel Salad . . .
