We had an excellent fishmonger in Troon, but know one in the next generation of the family was willing to take it on, so it has closed. Very sad.

Had the same thing here in Holt, very good fishmonger we have patronised for years, he decided to retire and quite rightly too, taken over by new owners, grumpy lady serving, no real advice on the fish you are buying, no offer to properly prepare your fish, sorry no more of my custom, but thankfully still a few good providers around here, but not telling

I would wager you would still love a real wild Atlantic Salmon caught on line or netted by a licenced fisherman. You just can not compare it with the farmed stuff. Farmed and wild is not so noticable when smoked but there used to be an old saying around Billingsgate (when it was in Upper Thames Street not the Isle of Dogs) to the effect of: " the best smoked salmon is caught in a Scottish River by an Englishman on fly, but smoked by a Jewish gentleman in the East End" and as an ex trader I agree completely.
By the way the wild stuff of the Pacific, Sockeye etc is rubbish alongside North Atlantic.
Guess you could be right, I always buy my seafood from the local suppliers in North Norfolk, I havnt tried salmon for a while so may well see where it is sourced from and give it another try

Quite agree we use the Holt chippie and we have found by trial and error that a small portion of cod and a small portion of chips shared between us is more than enough for the two of us
I suspect they ladle on lashings of chips for those porky northerners on holiday

Not a chippie but we have always enjoyed the fish and chips at the Yare in Brundall and never been disappointed, only complaint is too many chips
so Carole usually has chips and I have the potato croquettes and swap and share, sorted Ray & Carole

Actually its nof that hot the honey seems to take the heat out even though we put in quite a lot of chilli powder, cayenne and curry powder its just the blooming smell afterwards, and also flatulance can be a bit fruity, central heating under the duvet

Easy one wok meal
thinly slice pork fillet, marinade in groundnut oil, light soy sauce, cumin, medium curry powder, hot chilli powder, pinch of salt, garlic, cayenne pepper and honey then marinade for 12 hours.
Flash fry pork in wok, add sliced spring onions and sliced red pepper, cook through, serve with warm tortilla wraps. Tastes great, downside takes about 2 days to get rid of the cooking smells
but worth it Ray & Carole

Well we like the fish and chips at the Yare
Ray & Carole

Well not our own recipe but seems good all the same.
Well Carole decided she wanted a ride out as the arfuritis not to bad and a change of scenery, so quick trawl of the internet cheapest gordons gin, gaytrose north walsham £17 A litre. So off we trot in the trusty V40.
Carole manages to have a hobble round and found some reduced ( sell by today) Lasagna Rotoli
Bit like a Lasagna Swiss roll
reduced from £5.99 to £2.95, worth a punt methinks
actually turned out really nice with an added good covering of parmiggiano, Caroles hates that, and a few chips good evening meal, easy to do on the boat me thinks worth a try

A clean one as its not in the members only section
A man was dining alone in a fancy restaurant and there was a gorgeous brunette sitting at the next table. He had been checking her out since he sat down, but lacked the nerve to talk with her. Suddenly she sneezed, and her glass eye came flying out of its socket towards the man. He reflexively reached out, grabbed it out of the air, and handed it back. 'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman said, as she popped her eye back in place. 'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you.' They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they went to the theatre followed by drinks... They talked, they laughed, she shared her deepest dreams and he shared his. She listened to him with interest. After paying for everything, she asked him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time.. The next morning, she cooked a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy was amazed. Everything had been so incredible! 'You know,' he said, 'you are the perfect woman.. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?'
'No,' she replies. . .. 'You just happened to catch my eye.'
