Ciara’s Catch

In her debut book, Ciara Shine brings together recipes from her family kitchen, friends, and fellow seafood producers.

Drawing on her roots in Killybegs, where she runs her family’s business, Shines Seafood, Ciara Shine combines traditional Irish food culture with fresh, modern inspiration. The book highlights the sustainability of seafood production in Ireland and explores the traditions that shaped her love of fish, including the long-standing Irish practice of eating more fish on Fridays. Ciara showcases how to maximise the convenience of jarred and tinned fish in simple, delicious dishes and shares favourite family recipes, along with some cooking tips. Ciara believes seafood doesn’t need to be intimidating and encourages readers to start with straightforward techniques before experimenting with bolder flavours and ingredients.

Here’s a selection of the mouth watering recipes featured in this issue to whet your appetite.

• Fish and Chips
• Cheat Pizza
• Ciara’s Salad Mix
