Hi. We're doing a romantic night in and I volunteered to do the fish course. Have just been and got a dozen oysters (currently 25p each at Morrisons), a fresh squid and a chunk of Alaskan salmon because they all looked good. However I have don't have a clear recipe idea.

Given that the mrs doesn't like fresh oysters (not sure about cooked), my plan is to consume the oysters with a glass of crisp white beforehand to get me in the mood, then quickly pan fry the salmon with lots of butter and bread crumb the squid, over a green salad and some dressing, maybe teriyaki.

Any other suggestions?

If the oysters are from a supermarket I would crumb and grille them then pan fry the salmon with some crushed now pots, asparagus and sauce vierge. Bin or freeze the the squid.

Thanks for the many, many replies, it was much appreciated! smile

Decided to go with a pancetta, parmesan crust on the oysters, did the salmon as a ceviche and pan fried after a light cure of dill, salt and sugar and then breaded squid rings. All on a green salad and lemon dressing. Very delicious if a bit random.
