I know I was talking to some guys from over there about the cost of Sea food. Said they wish they had something More plentiful and easy,

It us both plentiful and easy; yes it's expensive if you buy it but we all have the right to forage it and can legally have a certain amount of crab/lobster traps without a licence.

Tastes change, eel and lamprey were once popular a long time ago, who eats them now ?

Monkfish was only good for fake “scampi”, now it’s an expensive gourmet fish !

We used to get “rock salmon” , (dog fish!),in the fish shops, never see it now.

Cheers.

To be fair, the British isles food culture (including ireland) is f****d…..go to Paris and there’s fishmongers and greengrocers and butchers and all of it looks fantastic.

There is a fair movement of people (many of who are English) here now buying places that enable them to feed themselves and doing so…….

The missus and I were just talking about this.

We remember when high streets had pork butchers, wet fish shops, greengrocers, hardware shops, instead of estate agents , charity shops and fast food outlets…..but we ARE very old though ! LOL !

Purge them in cold fresh water overnight, put them on a barbecue, in the shell and add a spoonful of garlic butter, don’t over cook…..free, easy to cook and delicious !

Retail parks and the proclivity of supermarkets with ease of access on dual carriageways , coupled with the cost of rent , killed the average British high street . 

is it any coincidence that the high streets of towns such as Richmond, guisborugh , yarm all still look Pretty traditional ? Money keeps that at bay
