Seafood

Why Greendale seafood is best

At Greendale we’re only interested in selling the best to our customers. Because we have our own fishing fleet, we can supply our fish counter with regular fresh catches that can be traced directly back to the sea. Operating in accordance with the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme, our boats work out of Exmouth, Brixham and Newlyn, and catch a variety of fish from Westcountry waters; a catch can often be on its way to the Greendale farm shop in Exeter within hours of leaving the sea. If we can’t catch it ourselves, we source only from trusted suppliers with standards as high as our own, and we take great pride in ensuring that a delicious variety is always to be found on our fish counter.

Lemon Sole With Crab Butter & Caper Sauce

Lemon Sole With Crab Butter & Caper Sauce

Delicious lemon sole is plentiful in Westcountry waters, making it a good, sustainable choice. Baked whole with delicious crab butter, and served with a creamy sauce, we think it looks brilliant (and tastes even better!). Serves 2

Greendale Scallops with Chilli Jam

Greendale Scallops with Chilli Jam

Say it with scallops, and serve this simple but luxurious recipe to your best-loved guests! It’s the work of moments to make, leaving you free to mingle to your heart’s content. Serves 4 as part of a spread.

Salmon Coulibiac Recipe

Salmon Coulibiac Recipe

We think this fabulously tasty fish pie is well worth a little time and effort! It’s also a good one to have up your sleeve, as the uncooked pie can be made a day ahead and chilled in the fridge, or frozen for up to two months.

Fresh Fish

Responsibly Caught

We continuously work towards improving the sustainability of our catch, and lessening the impact fishing operations can have on the marine environment. All our boats operate under strict fishing quotas, designed to prevent overfishing in UK waters, and we have modified the engine of each vessel to minimise carbon emissions. Having achieved Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) sustainability accreditation for our Cornish hake catch, we’re seeking MSC accreditation for a further three fisheries. We also follow the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme, to ensure high standards of management, maintenance, crew safety and wellbeing on board our boats. To learn more, click here.

Food Waste

Nothing Gets Wasted

We hate waste! We try to ensure our fish reaches customers in as fresh a state as possible, either from our fish counter or online (fresh fish is delivered via an overnight service). Our skilled fishmongers never discard quality fish if they can help it - filleting offcuts are used in our ready-made fish pies, fish pie mixes and fish cakes, while empty crab and lobster shells are used to make our bisque and fish stock. Any remaining fish waste is collected from us by Advanced Proteins, which processes animal waste into bio-fuel and key pet-food ingredients.

BBQ Hake Tacos with Fresh Peach Salsa

BBQ Hake Tacos with Fresh Peach Salsa

Serve up these tasty skewers and let guests build their own perfect fish tacos! We’ve used hake here, but you can use any firm, white fish fillets.

Caper-Dressed Sole with Potato Salad

Caper-Dressed Sole with Potato Salad

This quick and simple recipe makes the most of delicately-flavoured Lemon Sole or Dover Sole, both unfairly underrated flat fish. You can make the salad well in advance if you like, though it is lovely when the potatoes are still a little warm – and fresh salad leaves are a must. Serves 2.

Curry-Spiced Fish Pie Recipe

Curry-Spiced Fish Pie Recipe

Richly spiced mash, Greendale Fish Pie Mix and authentic curry flavours combine to create a fabulous ‘Frankenstein’ of a dish – it sounds wrong, but try it and you’ll see why we like it so much!
