Whale meat curry for dinner? Study of bygone seafood recipes shows how UK tastes have narrowed

Herring, flatfish and oysters are increasingly off the dining table, with just five fish species now dominating In days gone by, the UK’s domestic cooks were an adventurous lot when it came to seafood, prepared to dish up anything from an oyster cocktail to whale meat curry. But an academic investigation of more than 1,000 fish and shellfish recipes published in a lifestyle magazine over the last century suggests tastes have become much narrower. Ruth Thurstan, from the University of Exeter, studied seafood recipes published in the British version of the magazine Good Housekeeping from 1923 to the present. Pre-1970s: A diverse mix of species in recipes. No single group ruled but flatfish, herring and oyster were prominent. Recipes emphasised domestic skills, economy and preparing whole fish. The 1970s shift: A decline in diversity of fish species in recipes, with increased focus on the “big five”. 1980s-present: “Big five” present in the majority of recipes, with a decline of other species – though not all have vanished entirely.
