Smoked mackerel, beetroot and fennel puff pastry tart recipe

By Charlie Clapp

An elegant and flavourful puff pastry tart that is simple to make and packed with goodness. 

Serves 4, takes 10 minutes to make, 20 minutes to cook.

Ingredients    

1. 375g ready rolled puff pastry sheet
2. 1 large fennel bulb, fronds attached
3. Knob of butter
4. 150g ready cooked baby beetroot
5. 350g smoked mackerel, skin removed, flaked
6. 100g Wensleydale (or other cheddar cheese), crumbled

Method

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Lay the pastry on a non-stick baking sheet and gently score a 2.5cm border all around the pastry. Prick the centre with a fork several times, then bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, thinly slice the fennel, reserving the fronds for later. Heat the butter in a pan and cook the fennel for 5-10 minutes until tender. Cut the beetroot into thin wedges.
3. Gently push down the centre of the pastry, leaving a risen border. Scatter over the fennel, beetroot and mackerel, then return to the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, then crumble over the cheese and the reserved fennel fronds. Serve straightaway.

 Japan tuna is world's most expensive edible fish

Source: BBC - 5 January 2012

A bluefin tuna has been sold for three quarters of a million dollars in Tokyo - a price almost double last year's record sale. The bluefin tuna, prized for making the finest sushi, fetched 56.49m yen ($736,000, £472,125) at Tsukiji fish market's first auction of the year.

And while talking about seafood records, there's one from UK.

Most Expensive Seafood Hamper -world record set by The Fish Society

(source: World Records Academy) HINDHEAD, Surrey, UK -- Containing 17 kinds of seafood sourced from the four corners of the world, The Fish Society’s ‘Caviar & Crustacean Blowout and Atomic’ seafood hampers that can feed up to 30 at a cost of £2,500 - setting the world record for the Most Expensive Seafood Hamper.

The Most Expensive Seafood Hamper is carefully balanced between ready-peeled items and fish still in its shell (less efficient but an essential element in the excitement). 9.3kgs of edible weight (15kgs gross), so even the most gluttonous guests will be sated.

The Most Expensive Seafood Hamper contains 17 kinds of seafood including 16 inch long giant Siberian crab legs, extra large crab claws from Chile, freshly cooked native UK lobster, four kinds of prawns including monstrous prawns from Madagascar weighing in at half a pound each, assorted more humble but nevertheless crucial shellfish, and as the magnificent centerpiece, 750g of Sevruga caviar. Caviar & Crustacean Blowout and Atomic’ includes double helpings of caviar and crab leg (11 kg edible weight).

Now, let's have some seafood ;)
