5 Reasons To Serve Your Guests Fish Platters
At Angie’s, we have a wide range of platters available, so why choose fish platters? We have listed a few reasons why serving fish to your guests is a great idea below:
Visually Appealing Presentation
A fish platter can be beautifully presented, helping to impress and entice your guests. Fish platters are arranged on a large platter or serving board and garnished with fresh herbs, lemon wedges and other ingredients to really bring out the best in the flavour. The elegant look of these platters fits perfectly in any setting.
Wide Range Of Flavours
Part of the beauty of fish platters is its variety of flavours. Platters generally include a few different seafood items, meaning guests can choose from different flavours outside of options such as red meat, white meat or salad. Served in a buffet-style setting, fish platters are a great option for all occasions.
Dietary Preferences
For guests who do not eat red or white meat and follow a pescatarian diet, fish platters are the perfect choice. Getting fish platters for your event or gathering helps cater to those who do not eat the more commonly ordered meat platters. When all of your guests are catered for, the event or gathering is that much better.
Lighter Option
Fish is lighter on the stomach than white and red meat, allowing guests to enjoy the event without being weighed down by a heavy meal. Fish platters are just as satisfying as meat platters while being much lighter overall.
Versatility
Part of the beauty of seafood is the wide range of ways you can cook it. Fish can be grilled, baked, fried and smoked. You can even eat certain seafood raw, such as sushi. The variety of ways to cook it means a versatile option for all tastes.
Understanding The Unique Flavours Of Different Fish
Since seafood has such a versatile range of flavours, we will cover the different flavours of different types of fish to give you some insight into what your taste buds are getting into.
Salmon: With salmon dishes, you are likely to get a rich buttery flavour perfect for grilling or smoking due to the oily texture. You may also find that farm-raised salmon tastes different to wild-caught salmon, mainly due to diet and environment.
Tuna: Tuna tends to have a much more meaty texture with a mild and clean taste. The richness of the tuna depends on the cuts, such as Bluefin or Yellowfin. You can generally expect a mild and salty flavour.
Trout: With trout, you can expect a mild, subtle flavour with a hint of sweetness. The meat breaks apart easily and many compare the taste to that of salmon. Of course, different types and different cooking methods mean there is a range of flavours you may experience.
Mackerel: You can expect a much bolder and stronger flavour with Mackerel, its high oil content and robust structure make it perfect for smoking and grilling. The flavour is rich with a hint of sweetness and saltiness.

Honey And Soy Glazed Salmon (DF) (GF)
Angie’s honey and soy-glazed salmon is a spectacular dairy-free dish rich with flavour and fresh ingredients. Among our most popular dishes, we use locally sourced salmon to give clients only the best when it comes to our fish platters.

We serve the honey and soy-glazed salmon platter with zesty and fresh lemon wedges for that extra bit of freshness. We top the dish off with a light, delicious salad containing pickled cucumber, aromatic dill and a small amount of chilli. The superb flavour profile makes this one of our most popular dishes.
Our expert chefs plate the platter in an aesthetically pleasing way, adding mixed leaves, crisp spring onions, radishes and white and black sesame seeds to really make it stand out. A little bit of white wine vinegar is then sprinkled on top to create a flavourful and salivating experience.
Miso Salmon (DF) (GF)
Our miso-salmon fish platters are an immaculate culinary experience; made for anyone who loves seafood with a bit of a Japanese twist. Miso is a popular Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans, adding a special blend of sweetness, saltiness and earthiness to the salmon dish. As both the miso and the salmon are full of umami, the depth of flavour is really brought out, making it one of the most loved platters on our menu.
We use a careful combination of tantalising white miso dressing and mix it up with a dark and sticky soy sauce. Next, we add sesame oil for a nutty touch, red-white vinegar for an additional kick, some mirin for sweetness, and extra virgin olive oil to tie it all together. Our fresh salmon fillets are then glazed and carefully coated with the mixture before we sprinkle some white and black sesame seeds on top.
Our miso salmon platters also include a pickled cucumber, dill and chilli salad with mixed leaves and lemon wedges for that extra tang. The salad is topped off with white wine vinegar, sugar and rapeseed oil as the final touch. This dish is both gluten-free and diary-free.
Pan Seared Salmon (GF)
Our pan-seared salmon platter is a great choice for anyone who loves seafood. The dish is a classic pan-seared salmon from locally sourced suppliers cooked to perfection. The popular salmon fish platter will no doubt impress your guests at any event or gathering.
We only use fresh salmon of the highest quality and serve it with a delicious cornichon mayonnaise, which is essentially an elevated type of tartar sauce made by our expert chefs using lemon juice, capers, parsley, mayonnaise, parmesan and French pickled gherkins.
At Angie’s, our pan-seared salmon platters are served with fresh and titillating sun-blushed tomatoes, caper berries and pea shoots. The platter is topped with garnish including lemon wedges with rapeseed oil. One of our gluten-free specialities, this is the perfect dish for those with dietary restrictions.
Sea Trout And Gremolata (GF) (DF)
Our sea trout and gremolata fish platters are another gluten-free and dairy-free dish that hold nothing back when it comes to flavour. The incredibly delicious platter comes with an expertly pan-roasted sea trout with a juicy texture and bold flavours.
The dish also includes fresh parsley gremolata to complement the sea trout. Gremolata is basically a mixture of parsley, wild rocket, capers, lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil – coming together to create a meal bound to impress your guests. The aromatic flavours boost the taste of the sea trout, creating an unforgettable culinary experience for your guests.
The sea trout and gremolata platter is served with fresh and sweet sun-blushed tomatoes and caper berries. A garnish of baby watercress is added for a pepper-like taste with lemon wedges included to drizzle over the dish.
