If I could recommend one dish it would be a seafood linguine or spaghetti with supermarket mixed seafood, some cheap plonk , cream and butter Google a rough idea and it's as good as a decent restaurant. Some crusty buttered bread to mop up.

I knocked one up the other week did used cream white white and parsley for my sauce it was Beautiful

An old Victorian dish...........most young kids would look at that and go ""eerrr fish in milk ...yuck"

but older folk knows better............when i was young i would have had half a loaf of tiger bread with this to mop up the gravy,,,but that would kill me now...

its a super easy dish  to do.....no la-di-da fancy spices....if i were doing the chowder version i would do the chopped leeks and onions in the steamer first...and add king prawns and a scooped out crab or crab sticks if they are decent ones...maybe use monkfish chunked up

will defo do it again

My father used to enjoy smoked haddock poached in milk with butter on top I carry this on. My kids never took to pies and pasties but they had a Cornish pastie and chips the other night , I felt proud lol, not really but it's nice to see them enjoy what we did I guess , my father didn't cook as such but in the foundry he'd cook me pies on the furnace with a tin bucket and call it a Dutch oven , good times good pies... probably a bit of smelting poison in the mix to boot hahah

I used to poach ,  wood smoked haddock , eggs, and large scallops  in milk , then make a smokey cheese sauce with the milk . I can only afford the poached eggs these days .

christ Mel that sound to die for ..with a crusty fresh roll or 2...........you need a 2nd mortgage for fine scallops now

i will try the chowda version  and add mabe chopped crab sticks few king prawns...and a little pot of crab paste all gently stired in

i rekon you could do it with haddock and muscles and stuff

It was lovely . It was the only perk of having a mate that worked as a fishmonger .

He'd turn up with huge fresh salmon,  or catering sized buckets of scallops and King prawns .
