Cornish haddock with sea beet soup and olive oil

Not yet rated

Dark green and glossy, sea beet is like spinach and can be found wild along the British coastline. Watercress makes a good substitution if you can't get a hold of sea beet for this seafood soup. This is a spectacular haddock recipe from Nathan Outlaw that can easily make a main meal for two.
