THE COMPANY SHED
The Company Shed is seafood heaven
Taking a spring walk along the estuary at West Mersea on the Essex coast is rewarded by a delicious lunch. Bring your own bread and wine.
EATING OYSTERS
At one time oysters were the diet of the poor

FISH ON THE HOOF
Eating seafood at its freshest
The freshest fish lends itself perfectly to being eaten on the move. For me, the best Fish and Chips experiences in the world were from either Olley’s in South London or the Montgomery, just off Leith Walk in Edinburgh. But there are sustainable surprises in store these days at Fish Club in Clapham and Battersea.
