Father's Day is coming up, and we reckon food is the way to any Dad's heart. Here are a few dishes to whip up if you want to give him the royal treatment this weekend.

Whether your Dad's a whiz in the kitchen or decidedly not, a Sydney Seafood School gift certificate makes a great present. Promise to come along to the class with him to really put the cherry on top.

Flounder Char-Grilled in Banana Leaves

Recipe Here

All you need are some seasonal fish fillets and a fired up barbie to create this fragrant dish. Ling, Mirror Dory and Bigeye Ocean Perch are all in strong supply right now.

Barbecued Coriander Pepper Prawns

Recipe Here

King Prawns from local mid-north coast fisheries have been in stunning form lately. Pick some up and toss them in this zingy marinade for a simple, yet impressive, dinner.

Beer-Battered Flathead

Recipe Here

This is guaranteed to taste better than your local takeaway. If you're on a budget (who isn't?), buy Gurnard or Latchet fillets instead of Flathead. They're a like-for-like swap for a lower price.

P.S. Did you know that you can deep-fry using olive oil? We recommend Cobram Estate's Light Flavour Intensity Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Prawn Rolls with Herb Mayo

Recipe Here

Like lobster rolls, but sweeter (and more affordable), these will knock Dad's socks off. Make them as part of a decadent brunch.

Seafood Risotto

Recipe Here

Bougie on a budget is personified by this delicious dish. Sure, it takes a while to make, but Dad's worth it!
