For the past few weeks, Letchworth has been part of the Sea Change campaign which has introduced residents to new dishes and raised awareness of why sustainable seafood is not only beneficial for their health, but the planet too. 

From themed evenings with Michelin-star chef Simon Hulstone to promotions with Norwegian cod in local fish and chip shops, the people of Letchworth have been treated to a host of unique dining experiences. 

A number of families have also been challenged with eating more seafood dishes at mealtimes, as it has been widely reported that UK consumers eat just half of the government’s recommended two portions of fish a week.  

“We all know about the benefits of eating plant-based products, but seafood is often ignored when talking about what makes a healthy, sustainable diet,” says Hans Frode Kielland Asmyhr from Seafood from Norway, who are behind the Sea Change campaign.  

“We want to help you introduce more ocean-based options to your diets at home, with this selection of simple, delicious dishes.” 

Here are their top five recipe recommendations to try at home: 

2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter 

½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped  

A few handfuls of rocket  

1 small red onion, finely sliced
