But, you’re right. I have no need for tartare sauce as I have never been able to eat anything that has been pulled out of the water, except ducks. I actually prefer not to sit at the same table as someone eating fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t eat fish, cheese of any sort, and egg white. Other than that I eat most things, including stuff many will not eat like black pudding or haggis. Gherkins and olives are a no no. I would rather suck an engine dipstick than eat an oily olive! I prefer fairly plain traditional British food. I don’t like my food ‘mucked about with’. Garlic in food is alright, just so long as there is not enough to actually taste it. I like Indian food but not keen on Chinese. I have enjoyed many African dishes. Mostly, I am just a carnivore. edit to say I am fine with public toilets, anywhere, or even no toilets (can’t beat a bit of alfresco pooing).

If you had been in our household as a youngster we would had put a few duck feathers on your fish and you won't had known the difference L B , apart from a roast Sunday dinner we ate fish for most days of the week , more so in the Winter when we had fish off a Lowertoft trawler where my grandfather was a stoker , the fish was mainly Cod and Plaice , and then we had Herring and roes from a Yarmouth drifter where my other grandfather was the ships cook , we thought we knew our fish because we ate so much of it but for a long while we didn't realise a Herring , Long shore , Kipper and a Bloater were all the same fish , and not forgetting the roes and milchards which again was from the Herring , or Silver Darlings as they are know around these parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tinned stuff is what they use in chippys. My wife's fresh fish shop used to sell both types. That's what I meant when I said I was a heathen, I course choose from fresh caught Grimsby cod roe or who knows what and when in tins.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Being Anglesey I would have guessed 15ish. Bit surprised at that 20 though. The Magpie café in Whitby charges £30+ for fish and chips and there's always a queue. Last time we were in Padstein, (Padstow) Rick Steins take away was over £20, we declined and didn't look at the "restaurant" price. Being a frugal Yorkshire man, I buy fresh fish and freeze some for later but always cook some fresh. Normally in breadcrumbs but occasionally beer batter. My wife is a fabulous cook and gives me good instructions ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like your comment about Padstein it seems once you get a name people will pay a premium price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
