Succulent and delicious, fish is eminently suitable for the slow cooker as the gentle, even cooking ensures that it retains its shape and doesn't disintegrate during cooking. Although large whole fish won't fit in the slow cooker, it's absolutely perfect for single-portion fish steaks and fillets.
Fish is a great source of protein and provides many vitamins and minerals. White fish is particularly low in fat, making it the perfect food for helping to maintain a healthy weight. Ideally, you should eat oily fish such as salmon and tuna at least once a week as it contains beneficial heart-healthy fats.
Unlike meat, fish cooks relatively quickly in the slow cooker, taking about the same time as rice and pasta, so it is superb for combining with these easy-to-make all-in-one meals. Here you'll find wonderful fresh fish dishes such as Spicy Salmon Steak and Braised Turbot in White Wine, as well as a good selection of recipes for convenient canned fish, including Crab and Corn Chowder and Tuna Cannelloni.
