A roundup of must-try fish recipes this Easter weekend

As we prepare for Good Friday tomorrow the appeal of the same old seafood dishes might not be as exciting as once before.

Whether you observe the tradition for religious reasons or simply love the idea of a seafood-centred feast, this is the moment to let fresh, flavourful fish take the spotlight.From golden, crispy fillets to fragrant curries and light, citrusy bakes, fish is anything but boring. It’s versatile, quick to cook, and perfectly suited to the kind of easy, elegant meals we crave over a long weekend. Think flaky hake with a punchy herb sauce, buttery snoek straight off the braai, or a delicate linefish dish that feels just a little bit special.

So, if you’re planning your Good Friday menu – or just looking for a delicious excuse to cook more seafood – this roundup brings together must-try recipes that celebrate the best of the ocean.

Fresh, fuss-free and full of flavour, these are the dishes you’ll want on repeat long after the Easter weekend ends.
