In the culinary world pairing cheese and fish is seen by many (including Padma Lakshmi) as a bit of a faux pas. Some even consider it one of the biggest mistakes you can make when cooking fish. Bobby Flay however marches to the beat of his own drum. The chef and TV personality has strong feelings about the practice and he thinks you should reconsider the controversial pairing for your own kitchen. Flay's message to the haters? He doesn't believe there should be a "blanket" ban on using the two types of ingredients together.

Flay's easy fish dish
On Instagram the "Beat Bobby Flay" host explained that he's not one for strict rules when it comes to cooking though he admits that cheese and seafood don't always go together. Ultimately it depends on the recipe and the ingredients used. "These hard and fast rules are crazy. Taste it. Go for it. Be a good cook" he advises his audience. To Flay "it makes perfect sense" to mix fish and dairy "sometimes." In fact he claims that countless top chefs have dishes that combine the two.

Of course Flay notes that it's important to choose the right cheese for your fish dish. Luckily he has a lot of experience with this notorious combination of ingredients.
