The closure of the restaurants, hotels, pubs and cafes they’d usually supply due to the current coronavirus crisis has had a huge impact on their business, so Booths is trying to do its part to keep these fantastic artisan producers going. Booths is particularly keen to help local cheese producers, so here’s a recipe using some of that local produce.
It’s the idea of The Boho Baker, a food writer, baker and blogger based near Booths’ HQ in Preston. She’s agreed to do a series of recipes for the supermarket, celebrating the best local produce. Follow her on instagram @thebohobaker.

5. Plate the fish and top with a few spoonfuls of crumb topping. The blue cheese crumbs are delicious sprinkled over salad or steak, and best enjoyed immediately.
