Don’t be selfish with the shellfish. People around the world make the vitamin-rich goodness of fish & seafood part of their diet. Others cook and enjoy it for its variety and delicious simplicity it brings to the dish. There is still fear over ‘what to do with it’. We hope this will boost your confidence.
The Seafood Diet: See food and eat it !!!
Prawns (or shrimps) are plump, sweet, juicy little nuggets of joy. Shop-bought cooked, just pat them dry, mix them with sliced tomato, cucumber, sweet pepper and crispy salad; add a good drizzle of combined Real Mayonnaise and Bloody Mary Ketchup – Bloody Mary Rose Sauce – and spoon into glass bowls as Bloody Mary Prawn Cocktail.
Ta daaah.
Sweet Chilli Prawn Stir Fry.
Raw prawns are grey / blue in colour and turn pink to say they are cooked. Peel off the legs and the shell (leaving the tail on – it’s good to hold when savouring the sweet meat). Run a sharp knife along the spine and remove the thin black vein.
Your prawns are ready to cook. Try this very simple Chilli Stir Fry Recipe – HERE – replacing the tofu with your prawns. Finishing the last few seconds adding our Sweet Chilli Sauce makes a world of difference.
Our Sweet Chilli Sauce makes the perfect dip for crispy calamari rings. Buy them battered or breaded, air fry in a couple of minutes, dip and enjoy.
Paella.
Prawns, shrimps, mussels, clams and other crustaceans form the classic fish content of a Paella. Add chunks of cod or mackerel, ling or tilapia for additional flavour and texture.
Follow the instructions on a Paella rice, add roast peppers (from a jar) and lots of Stokes Real Tomato Ketchup together with Habanero HOT Sauce for a chilli depth to the dish.
Spaghetti Vongole.
This is as Italian as it comes and, as such, has simple ingredients that marry with ease and taste amazing – rather like Stokes! Serves 2 lucky diners.

Here’s How
ENJOY !
Wet fish. No cellophane wrapping. No use-by date. No instructions. I suppose we should add – not many places left to buy it like this.
Fear not. There is so much online guidance with step-by-step instructions as well as videos for filleting, skinning and cooking, that all you really need is the inspiration … and we hope this helps.
It doesn’t get much easier than grilling, poaching or baking a piece of salmon. The clue here also is that it is so so versatile – grill, poach, bake.
Or, pan fry. A little butter in a pan, gently softening sliced shallots with lemon zest, and dill or coriander seeds.
With no skin, add the salmon and leave it for two minutes with the heat turned low. Turn it over, increase the heat and baste the steak with the lemony butter sauce for two minutes tops and serve.
Skin-on … you can grill, griddle or fry on a higher heat. Skin to heat first – so up under the grill and down for pan or griddle. Oil the skin first and crunch mixed pepper seeds over it to form a crust.
Two to three minutes on the skin, then gently over for one minute and rest (skin up) off the heat whilst you plate up.
The skin should crunch, yielding to soft, flaky flesh within. 
Sea Bass.
Use the same ‘skin down’ technique for Sea Bass, but just two minutes on the skin, to one when turned whilst finishing – here, with a few prawns, lemon, Dijon Mustard and dash of white wine deglazing a hot pan while the fish rests.
Bouillabaisse.
Let’s finish our fishy frolics with Bouillabaisse, a traditional Provençal fish soup originating in the port city of Marseille.
In its simplest form, this is a richly intense fish soup in which you poach – well – whatever you want. Usually prawns, mussels, clams and chunks of a white fish will do the trick (although the purists say you need to use seven different types of seafood.)
In truth, nothing compares to the amazing recipe created for the BBC – Simply Provence – programme made by the great Marcus Waring:
Watch from 18.01 and enjoy.
BUT, don’t worry about the aioli, we have it covered in the form of our aioli-style Garlic Mayonnaise – perfect for your Bouillabaisse Marcus.
Mayonnaise & Fish is a match made in ‘heaven’ … or perhaps ‘Devon’ or anywhere you would expect a glorious collection of British seafood to be brought ashore.
Have you tried ‘mayonnaising‘, the latest foodie trend for Food Lovers?
When ordinary mayo just isn’t enough, the real stuff becomes deliciously – amayonnaising.
