The classic lemon and sugar combo is never a bad choice, but why not cook up a dish that is sure to become a favourite? Instead of the usual sweet treats, take a look at why savoury seafood pancakes are the way to go!
A tasty twist on tradition
When we think of pancakes nowadays, images of fluffy American-style stacks dripping with maple syrup often spring to mind. Whilst the sweet varieties are rightly treasured, seafood pancakes can turn delectable treats into a nutritious, protein-rich feast.
Seafood pancake dishes are a delicacy in many Asian countries – Korea, Japan and Vietnam each have their own remarkable offerings. Korean Pajeon is filled with squid, prawns, scallions and green onions – delivering a delicious flavour and a slightly crispy texture. By adding Surimi Royale to this dish, you can ensure the fantastic flavour and the nutritional value is enhanced!
Okonomiyaki is a popular Japanese street food that combines fresh seafood, vegetables and thick, savoury pancakes. A true crowd-pleaser, traditionally packed with creamy mayo and bonito flakes that “dance” on top. If you’re after something that scratches your itch for sweetness, Vietnam’s Banh Xeo is ideal. Serve with crunchy beansprouts and fresh Surimi Royale for a proper feast!
Packed with protein, low in cost
Seafood is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins – making it a perfect pancake filling. By opting for sumptuous Surimi Royale, you’re adding a protein punch that will keep you fuller for longer while supporting muscle growth and overall health. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their benefits to brain function and heart health, making seafood pancakes a nutritious choice for the whole family.
Plus, with food prices on the rise, choosing simple and accessible ingredients like canned mackerel or frozen seafood ensures that your pancakes remain both delicious and cost-effective. Many supermarkets offer affordable frozen seafood mixes that provide a variety of flavours and textures without breaking the bank.
Easy to make, easy to enjoy
One of the best things about seafood pancakes is how effortlessly they come together. Surimi Royale is the perfect low-cost, high protein filling to include in your pancakes. Smoked salmon has been a traditional favourite, but why not go for something unique that is still packed with nutrition and flavour?
A simple batter paired with a creamy seafood filling – think herby crème fraîche with Surimi Royale or a zingy lemon and garlic prawn mix – creates a dish that feels indulgent without the effort. If you’re feeling adventurous, Asian-inspired flavours like soy, ginger, and spring onion can elevate your pancake game even further.
