What herbs go best with fish?

When making a dish with fish, consider the flavour it already has and bring it out by adding herbs that further complement it. Some of the best herbs to use with fish are basil, tarragon, dill, and parsley.

• Basil enhances the flavour while adding a slight sweetness and is lovely when used with halibut or cod.
• Tarragon imparts a sweet liquorice-like taste and works especially well with white-fleshed fish such as bass or tilapia.
• Dill provides a slightly sour and savory note which goes great when combined with salmon or trout. Pair it with paprika, to give a delightful lemony and peppery zing to your fish.
• Parsley adds a touch of pepper and grassy notes and is a wonderful all-rounder for any kind of fish.
• If you like to experiment with native ingredients, we recommend seasoning your barramundi or bass with our Australian Bush Herbs. Featuring Australian coriander, pumpkin, lemon myrtle, bush tomato, sea salt, onion, native thyme, aniseed myrtle, and chives, this blend is wonderful when added to a breading mix.

What spices go best with fish?

When using spices with fish, it’s important to keep in mind that a little goes a long way. You don’t want to overpower the delicate flavour of the fish with too much spice. Start with a small amount and add more if necessary. With the right combination of spices, you can take your fish dishes to the next level. Here are a few spices that naturally complement fish:

• Ginger has a warm and slightly sweet taste that can add depth to a variety of fish, including salmon, tilapia, and cod. It is also great when used in stir-fries, curries, and sushi rolls.
• Cumin has a nutty and pungent flavour that pairs well with fish. Sprinkle over the fish before cooking or add it to a marinade.
• Coriander has a fresh and citrusy flavour and works wonders for grilled salmon when mixed with cumin.
• Smoked paprika infuses fish dishes with a deep and smoky flavour. It is particularly delicious when paired with grilled or baked fish. Best used as a dry rub before cooking.
• Native lemon pepper adds a bright and refreshing taste to the fish, while the black pepper adds a little bit of heat. You can use lemon pepper as a dry rub or sprinkle it over the fish before cooking.
