Some fish have a stronger flavor that might need more intense seasoning while other fish is mild and needs delicate seasoning to taste its best. Consider the following when trying to figure out which seasonings go best with which fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Basil is a great choice of seasoning to use when preparing fish. There are a number of varieties of basil and each will lend a subtle difference in flavor. Halibut, mackerel, salmon and tuna are all good fish to season with basil.<br>\u2022 Cayenne is a pungent flavor that can be added to soups, stews or when grilling fish. Salmon and trout are often paired with cayenne as long as the seasoning is mixed with flour and the fish fried. The strength of the seasoning means you\u2019ll only need a small amount.<br>\u2022 Chervil is the perfect choice when you desire a subtle flavor. Quite often chervil is used along with tarragon, chives and parsley. Use chervil when preparing sole or when preparing seasonings for poaching any type of fish.<br>\u2022 Chives have a slight onion flavor that is delicate. However, because of its delicate nature, chives aren\u2019t used during cooking. They are best used as a garnish. Fish that are enhanced by using chives are salmon as well as fish stews, fish soups or for garnishing.<br>\u2022 Dill is another seasoning that has a strong flavor. Halibut, salmon, sole and trout all have the strength of flavor to be paired with dill and not be overwhelmed.<br>\u2022 Fennel is used for all fish in English recipes. Cod is often prepared with fennel as well as the seasoning being added when poaching fish.<br>\u2022 Marjoram can be found in fish chowders or fish sauces. Halibut and salmon would be well-paired with this herb.<br>\u2022 Summer Savory has a flavor similar to sage and is used when preparing halibut, salmon and sole.<br>\u2022 Tarragon is often used when preparing several different fish. Halibut, salmon and sole are some of the fish that would be good choices if you enjoy the flavor of tarragon.<br>\u2022 Thyme is commonly used in preparing fish. You will often taste this seasoning on cod, halibut and sole fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though these seasonings are commonly used on fish, there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t try other seasonings as well. You may want to add garlic and lemon. Or try out some seasonings and herbs you may not think of as traditionally used with fish. When trying to decide which seasoning is right for which fish, let your taste buds be your guide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_190414\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \"
