7 Quick Fish Recipes Ready in Under 30 Minutes Perfect for Family Dinners

Getting a tasty, home-cooked dinner on the table doesn’t have to mean hours in the kitchen. If you’re looking for quick fish recipes ready in under 30 minutes, fish is one of the best options going — it cooks fast, works with whatever you have in the fridge, and is a great way to introduce more variety into family meals.

We’ve teamed up with <a href=”https://eatmorefish.ie/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>Eat More Fish</a>, an online fish retailer, to bring you seven simple fish recipes the whole family can enjoy on a busy weeknight.

Eat More Fish started life as a small stall at Galway Market and has grown into an online fishmonger delivering fresh fish and seafood, with a focus on sustainable species and responsible fishing methods. The idea is simple: make it easy for families to shop online, choose fresh fish and seafood, and get more of it onto the dinner table.
