These Greek Seafood Recipes will help you re-live your holiday.
Because Greece is made up of many islands it has a huge coastline and fish is plentiful and varied.
Recipes are heavily tomato and olive oil based. Much like all Mediterranean cookery, it is a very healthy diet with meat playing a lesser part in meals and vegetables and herbs making local cuisine very tasty.
Fish features heavily in Greek cooking and the two recipes below are typically Greek - they are adapatable to the fish you will find in your local stores - most white non oily fish will do.
A Mediterranean diet is normally accepted as 'healthy' - it's low on meat and high on fish and vegetables.
Even when they do eat meat, it's normally served in a sauce which might have a half pound of meat to serve four people - can you imagine putting a 2 ounce steak on someone's plate!
