Cooked fish parcel with vegetables for dinner

From the fish stall to your Friday dinner

Looking for fish for Friday dinner in Voorschoten? Visit Schaap’s Vishandel in the Hoogvliet car park from 08:30 to 17:30. You do not need a complicated menu: decide how you want to cook, how much time you have and how many people you are feeding. With that information, we can help you choose a suitable fillet.

These three ideas differ in cooking method, not just fish type. A parcel is useful for cooking fish and vegetables together. Salmon works in a simple baking dish. Cod can be pan-fried and served with side dishes. Read the full recipe before shopping so you have the vegetables and other ingredients too.

Idea 1: a fish parcel with vegetables

For an oven parcel, place fish and thinly sliced vegetables in baking paper. Our recipe uses one fillet per person with lemon and a little butter. The parcel keeps fish and vegetables together and looks attractive on the table without needing several pans.

Ask for a fillet that suits the recipe and tell us if you have cod or another fish in mind. Fillet thickness affects cooking time. Use the full recipe as a guide and check the result: one fixed baking time does not suit every size of fish.

Idea 2: oven-baked salmon with sides

Our VÅRLAKS salmon is a favourite at the counter. Fresh salmon fillet suits an oven meal with lemon and dill, or a vegetable traybake. Choose fresh fillet for cooking; smoked salmon is a different product needing a different approach.

For several diners, ask for portions of similar thickness so they cook evenly. Discuss whether you want the skin left on. Origin and certification relate to the particular delivery: a salmon’s name alone is not proof of organic certification.

Idea 3: pan-fried cod

Cod with lemon butter sauce is an option if you enjoy pan cooking. Our four-person recipe uses four 150 g fillets and sides. That is an example for this dish, not a fixed rule for every menu or appetite.

Prepare the potatoes and vegetables first or time them so everything is ready together. Pat the fish dry before frying and turn it carefully. Ask us about a suitable size for your pan.

Keep fresh fish chilled on the way home

Plan your shopping so fresh fish is not left unrefrigerated for long. The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends a cool bag for transport and prompt refrigeration at home. It advises eating unpackaged fresh fish from the fishmonger preferably on the day of purchase; for packaged fish, follow the use-by date.

Discuss when you plan to cook and follow the product’s storage advice. Seafood platters are arranged with us via WhatsApp.
