Chilli and garlic are a must 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Try Sharwoods Kung po sauce with chicken or prawns, thinly slice half a cucumber and add for the last five minutes cooking, we serve ours with McCain oven chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found some of this in the deepest depths of our larder a few months back, wouldn't normally use sauces from a jar but this was rather good.

Although it says serves 4 on the jar, I use the whole jar for two of us, we like plenty of sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly £10 , £7.50 the fish and £2.50 regular chips , although the chips were enough for two and the fish is cooked while you wait , nowadays it's just a treat now and again .

Reason im asking, before i retired i fished with a cheffie bloke, Galton somebody, he told me he had a restaurant and chip shop, he said it was about £15 for a fish supper, that was about 10 years ago. He also said if i could i would shut the fancy restaurant and buy another chip shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chap your talking about ( Galton Blackiston ) own another well to do fish and chip shop in Cromer this is a big one and you can dine inside with a sea view , both of them are busy this time of the year and are packed all day and every day throughout the Summer , he also own Morston Hall near Blakeney which is a Michelin starred hotel . the chap certainly isn't short of a few bob .

Yes it is one of life's little treats just sitting near the pier and watching the ships and the people passing by , a fair ole breeze yesterday but it was nice and mild without the crowds you get in the Summertime . 9 hours ago, billytheghillie said: Thats the chappie, Fluxie used to bring him fishing with us.

I think he have got his head screwed on where pounds , shillings and pence are concerned and by all accounts the locals speak well of him , in the early stages of the pandemic he donated all his food to the locals after the lock downs in the pubs and eating out places .
