National Seafood Week is nearly with us again and takes place between the 6th – 13th of October.
National Seafood Week is held every year to make people aware that not only is seafood quick and easy to cook, but it has the added benefit of being low in fat and a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids.
For these reasons, as well as the fact it’s delicious, we are all now being urged to eat seafood twice a week. So, what better time to start than during National Seafood Week? To hit the twice a week target, Encona – the UK’s number one hot pepper sauce brand have created a quick and easy recipe -‘Seabass Ceviche’.
