‘Great Fish Challenge’ is a contest for the best fish recipe based on the locally sourced fish. We encourage recipes based on all kinds of fish, especially those using small pelagic fish (e.g. capelin, mackerel and herring), salt fish, squid, scallops and other. Our aim is to increase awareness about the important value of fish for food security and nutrition, as well about the significance of fish for the local food systems.

If you have a favourite fish fish dish, whether traditional, with a modern twist, Canadian or international, please write it in the space below. We contest is open until October 31. All recipe submissions will be put in a draw for a prize.

The winner of the contest will be chosen at the cook-off of that will take place during the ‘Great Fish for a Change’ event in St. John’s on the World Fisheries Day, November 21, 2015. The winner and all runner ups will receive a prize and a gift certificate. Best recipes will also be featured in the ‘Great Fish for a Change: The Newfoundland Stories’ book.
