Matt Johansson of the Mussel Inn devised the Mini Seafood Platter dish so as
to showcase the vast array of quality seafood that Scotland has to offer.
Using rope-grown mussels supplied by farms belonging to the Scottish
Shellfish Marketing Group (SSMG), the Mini Seafood Platter also features
coley, seabass, prawns and scallops, which are cooked in an intricate recipe
that includes crme fraiche, white wine and tarragon.
Matt Johannson said: Scotland offers some of the best seafood in the world
and we therefore thought it would be entirely appropriate to create this new
recipe for Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight.
Stephen Cameron, the managing director of SSMG, said: Mussels are fantastic
quality at this time of year and taste superb, so we are delighted that Matt
has come up with this exciting new dish that highlights the very best of
Scottish seafood."
We are enjoying a boom in sales at the moment because consumers are
increasingly recognising the versatility of mussels in the kitchen. They are
easy to cook and are also very healthy to eat being low in calories and
fat.
The Mini Seafood Platter will be on the lunch menu (9.95 including a glass
of wine) of the Mussel Inn in Glasgow (Hope Street) and Edinburgh (Rose
Street) over Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight (3 to 18 September).
The
recipe can be viewed on the SSMG website, www.scottishshellfish.co.uk
