Vitamin D - a return...

I just noticed on the BBC website that they are suggesting people take supplements of Vitamin D, 4 days after I suggested a potential health risk. Keep up with the news BBC, I was there well before you, and with a much more natural solution! 😉 My blog.

A Little More on Fish...

OK, not the prettiest of fish, but very tasty, so I was told this morning. Further to my blog yesterday, my friend who had the Dover Sole the other day, yesterday bought down at Winch Road some more Dover Sole, a Skate Wing, and a Turbot that he ate for his main meal yesterday, lucky lucky person...

Indeed, as I said in an earlier blog, fresh fish is still available and can be delivered to your door if required, or should you not be able to get down to Rock-a-Nore Road/Winch Road to collect fish yourself.

It looks like it may be very choppy over coming days, particularly Mon/Tuesday, so take advantage while the fresh fish is still available, you know it makes sense 😉

Boat with a View and a New Winter Menu!

For a retired fishing boat it is excellent to see that the pub opposite, the Dolphin in Rock-a-Nore Road, has created a new 'Winter Menu' that focuses on supporting the local fishing industry situated just behind the Stacey Marie (RX134 - facebook page). Customers are encouraged to try locally caught huss and plaice for their fish & chips, not only the ubiquitous cod, though there is plenty of local cod around at the moment (not just frozen cod brought in from Iceland by a Rye trawler), and plenty of additional locally caught fish for their specials and 'Fish Platter', including gurnard, skate, dabs, mackerel and whiting.    

The kitchen is also locally sourcing as much other menu ingredients as possible, including using a local butcher, and local ales from the bar to include in their batter and stews, worth a visit, and I think I may just do that next time I'm working on the Stacey Marie!

Winch Road: Fish back on sale at Mick's!

Nice and fresh!

Fish for sale!

If you've had problems buying fish directly from the huts recently, no fear! It wasn't the weather that had prevented fish being sold, it was the quota system, so Mick et al are back to provide you with plenty of tasty fresh, good value, fish... Phew!
