Fish dishes to impress

Top chef Mark Hix celebrates Aldi’s new fish range with some restaurant-quality recipes

Aldi has launched a new premium British Fish Specialbuy range, which includes the likes of Dover sole, lemon sole and turbot, making the supermarket one of the cheapest places to pick up these restaurant-quality fish in the country.

Top chef Mark Hix has created two exclusive restaurant-quality recipes for families to cook from home, as he encourages more people to be adventurous with their fish choices.

Each week a new quality fish will be landing on shelves, including: Dover sole (£3.69, 250g, available now while stocks last), monkfish medallions (£3.99, 200g, available now while stocks last), hake (£2.99, 250g, available from July 1), lemon sole (£2.69, 300g, available from July 8), smoked sardine (£1.49, 160g, available from July 15), and turbot (£24.95 per kg, available from July 22).

Leading chef and restaurateur Hix said: “Our coastlines are teeming with wonderful, tasty native fish and I’ve been campaigning for years to encourage more people to try them.

“During lockdown I’ve seen a real shift towards eating seasonal and local food and with this new range, Aldi is giving more people the chance to try these fantastic British fish at great value prices. I’m also delighted to be able to share some simple seasonal recipes to give families all the tools they need to create the full restaurant experience right at home.”
