THE CHELSEA FISHMONGER
(Chelsea)
Rex Goldsmith

With the summer months now in sight those much-loved winter treats, such as the succulent shellfish, will slowly disappear, to be replaced by the quintessential British seasonal favourites.

The fantastic month of May yields such delights as Gulls’ Eggs, traditionally hard boiled and dressed with celery salt, the beginning of the Scottish wild salmon and sea trout and those much desired early season native lobsters. With the much appreciated settled weather that the next few months present, we can look forward to continuity in our supply. With the majority of fish returning to prime condition after their spawning period the next four months offers wet fish at it’s best. We look forward to seeing fantastic creel caught Scottish langoustine, an abundance of hook and line caught Cornish mackerel, South West otter trawl caught lemon and dover sole, East or South West hook and line caught red mullet and a plentiful supply of our fantastic hand picked Cornish white crab meat. Essentially, one must not forget the unmistakable taste of the sweet East Coast picked samphire grass, blanched, and dressed with butter and crack black pepper – a perfect addition to any summer fish dish.

Lee and I look forward to seeing you this summer and if none of the above wets your appetite you can be sure we have a superb alternative that will.
