I am delighted to bring you this fabulous recipe for roasted sea bass in a parcel and competition in conjunction with Seafish who are running a campaign to promote the health benefits of Superfishoil and eating more fish this Summer.
Did you know that 96% of British adults don’t know how much omega 3 they should be getting in one week? Our bodies can’t produce omega 3 so we should be trying to eat fish and seafood twice a week. There are many health benefits: it boosts brain power, keeps hearts healthy, and maintains healthy blood pressure and eye site.
It’s so important to educate our kids about the health benefits and get them involved in cooking and enjoying fish and seafood dishes from a young age.
Both of my boys favorite fish is sea bass and I know that I am often concerned with how to cook it and to get the kids involved. Anything that cooks in a parcel is a hit with the boys and even better this only takes 15 minutes to cook and tastes amazing.

Oh that looks yummy! My best tip is if you are introducing a new fish to your kids try it with something you already know they will eat – my son loved eating fishy pasta last week!
This recipe looks fantastic! The kids love to get involved with the cooking and already love fish fingers, for a healthier version I get them to help me to coat pieces of fresh fish with breadcrumbs to make our own fish fingers!
That looks and sounds delicious. I love seabass it is a delicious fish and I would so enjoy this. I wish I could get my kids to eat more fish, they don’t really eat it very often at all
yum yum this looks super tasty and easy as well as very healthy way to get those essential omega 3s!
Ohh I havn’t had seabass for a while and I’d love to have some again, super yum. Mich x
Yum – we love sea bass, thanks for the recipe.
This looks delicious, think we may invite ourselves over for dinner 😉
That looks delicious Jen, I need to cook more with my children. x
I really do like the look of this and I am not usually one for fishy dishes.
That looks delicious Jen – I’ll have that for tea please 😉
Loves beautiful , I have to be careful how much fish I eat due to intolerance but I would eat this within my allowance .
Gosh I really need to eat more fish! I think some weeks we don’t have any, but this looks so appetizing we should give it a try 🙂 x
