The halibut is a majestic fish and superb pan fried, poached or baked in foil. Also at the fishmongers, mussels are cheap and delicious.
It's still the season of leafy greens and root vegetables. Make the most of onions and leeks for rich, warming soups, spring and winter cabbages, kale or brussels tops for bubble and squeak (try with venison sausages) and roasted parsnips, carrots and Jerusalem artichokes.
The season is over for most feathered game but you can find goose or guinea fowl if you are lucky and there is still venison and hare about.

Each month, silvernutmeg.com brings you a guide to what's in season. The emphasis is on fresh and locally produced (i.e. British) food, including wild herbs and game.
