Fish Recipes this week

Premium Tuna Steaks

Fresh, versatile, and packed with flavour

Our tuna is ideal for pan-searing or enjoying raw — beautifully meaty, clean-tasting, and incredibly easy to cook.

Pan-Seared (Simple & Stunning)
Keep it minimal to let the tuna shine. Season with salt and cracked black pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil, and heat a heavy skillet until smoking hot. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side for a rare, melt-in-the-mouth centre. Finish with our Village Greens chilli and lemon butter for a gentle heat and citrus lift.

Japanese-Style Marinated Tuna
For a flavourful twist, try a quick marinade of soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, and a dash of sesame oil. Marinate for 15–30 minutes — just enough to enhance the tuna without overpowering its natural flavour.

Raw/ Sashimi Style

Slice thinly using a sharp knife for clean elegant cuts.

Serve well chilled for the best texture.

Perfect with soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger, or a light citrus dressing.

Fresh, sashimi-grade tuna is wonderfully versatile -enjoy it bold and simple, raw or just kissed by heat.

Scottish Salmon

Exceptionally fresh, rich and full of flavour

Our Scottish salmon is perfect for simple cooking that lets it’s quality shine.

Pan-Fried Crispy Skin Salmon. Pat the skin dry and season generously. Cook skin-side down in a hot pan with a little oil until golden and crisp. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes to finish. Serve with Village Greens chilli and lemon butter for a bright, buttery finish.

Whether baked or pan-fried, simply melt the chilli and lemon butter over the salmon just before serving. It adds a rich, zesty kick that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the fish.

Valentine’s Cheese- Les Cateliers Neufchâtel Lait Cru

We have a perfect valentines cheese, Les Cateliers Neufchâtel Lait Cru Cheese (raw milk)

This cheese is made by a tiny family owned fromagerie Les Cateliers in Buchy, in the Seine-Maritime region in Normandy.

Neufchâtel is a soft, slightly crumbly, mold-ripened cheese made in the Neufachatel-en-Bray. One of the oldest kinds of cheese in France, its production is believed to date back to the 6th century. It looks similar to Camembert, with a dry, white, edible rind, but the taste is saltier and sharper. It has the aroma and taste of mushrooms. Unlike other soft-white-rinded cheeses, Neufchâtel has a grainy texture. It is usually sold in heart shapes.

It wasn’t originally heart shaped, however, and although the heart-shaped design wasn’t invented for St. Valentine’s Day, it did come about through love…During the Hundred Years’ War (1337 – 1453), the French dairymaids of Neufchatel naturally fell for their English occupiers. Consequently they started to mould the cheese into a heart shapes to give as gifts. It is typically matured for 8–10 weeks.
