Fish - kitchen secrets from Raymond Blanc on BBC TV
Second programme in the Kitchen Secrets series where top chef Raymond Blanc lifts the lid on the secrets of prime piscine platters. Last night's fish dishes included a dish with a line caught pollack from Cornwall - it's a shame Raymond didn't show the fish before it had been descaled - it looked like it had just come from the cod end of a beam trawler working on sandy ground - compare that to the superb shiny line caught fish that Quentin Knights is holding below!
Other recipes included dover sole, turbot and a fish soup with gurnard, grey and red mullet

Star gazey pie with modern twist.
This weekend's Saturday Morning kitchen with James Martin starred local fish Cornish Sardines. Top chef, Tristan Welch conjured up a modern twist on the dish known as Star Gazey Pie, so named because the heads of the fish look out from the pie crust and gaze upwards - at the stars. This dish is traditionally eaten and served on Tom Bawcock's night, celebrated in Mousehole the night before Christmas Eve.
