One-pan mussels with white fish and samphire
You can use any fish fillet you like for this dish, but firmer types work best – think monkfish, gurnard, brill or even turbot if you're feeling fancy. I sometimes use ray cheeks, too, or cod cheeks, which also have a firm meaty texture. Overview Prep time 10 mins Cook time 5 mins Serves 2 (or 4 as a light main) Ingredients 500-600g firm white fish fillets (such as monkfish, gurnard or turbot), skin removed and cut into approx 60-70g chunks olive oil, for frying 500g mussels, well cleaned 175ml any white wine or cider 2 tbsp chopped parsley 100g samphire, trimmed freshly warmed bread, to serve (optional)

The tiny underrated Scottish island with sandy beaches and 'lovely' seafood restaurant
Scotland is home to countless islands, both big and small. While destinations such as Skye and Mull are popular holiday spots, there are also plenty of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. One of the country's many beautiful lesser-known islands is Gigha. The most southern of the Hebridean Islands, it is located around three miles from the Kintyre peninsula—less than three hours from Glasgow by car. Gigha is seven miles long and a mile and a half wide in size. It is home to a population of around just 160 people, making it an ideal holiday destination if you're looking for peace and quiet above all else. To get to Gigha, you can catch a Caledonian MacBrayne vehicle and passenger ferry all year round. The boat leaves from Tayinloan in Kintyre, and takes around just 20 minutes. Once you are on Gigha, there is a wealth of walking and cycle paths to explore. There are also roads, though visitors are encouraged to leave their cars on the mainland in order to avoid congestion. The Isle of Gigha is unique in that it is community owned. The island was owned by a number of private buyers in the 20th century, though was purchased by the local community in 2002, and has grown in popularity as a tourist destination since then. All over Gigha, there are spectacular sandy beaches dotted around its coastline. The most renowned are the Twin Beaches on the north of the island, consisting of two sandy bays separated by a narrow strip of land. The only village on the island is Ardminish, which is home to a pier, a post office, and a church. There is also a zero-waste micro-bakery named Sunshine Bread that sells a range of loaves and rolls. Ardminish also features The Boathouse restaurant, which has previously been recognised by the Michelin Guide. The family-owned restaurant specialises in seafood, with dishes such as whole lobster, pan fried stonebass, and ginger beer battered haddock available. Visitors can enjoy a table on a heated decking area with panoramic views of the Kintyre Sound. There are also tables inside of the 300-year-old boathouse if the weather turns cold. As well as being award winning, The Boathouse has earned acclaim from visitors. On Tripadvisor, the restaurant has an average rating of 4.6 out of five based on 706 reviews. One customer shared: "Lovely example of a great seafood restaurant on the gorgeous island of Gigha. Easy access from the ferry dock, we sat outside and food was really good and prices were ok." A second posted: "Absolutely amazing! Our second visit to this fabulous island restaurant. "The views from the restaurant are stunning. The service and food is excellent, offering a great range of local produce, and also has good options for veggies. "I would thoroughly recommend the Mussels and the Zarzuela is incredible, if you get the chance to try it." Scotland's 'best wee village' with inn that serves up 'sumptuous' Easter Sunday roast View gallery Elsewhere, another top sight on the Isle of Gigha is Achamore Gardens. Situated around a mile and a half from Ardminish, the 54-acre garden is home to unusual plants and trees from across the globe. Highlights of Achamore Gardens include the Walled Garden and the Garden Viewpoint. The former features a wealth of sub-tropical plants, while the Garden Viewpoint benefits from sweeping views out across to the islands of Islay and Jura. More information about what you can get up to on the Isle of Gigha can be found on the Visit Gigha website.
