OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

[walpurgis]

No idea what fresh tuna you've had mate

Marco.

Tried tuna enough to know I prefer something else. Haddock is good, as are flatfish like sole etc.

[walpurgis]

odd the things we just dont like tho... Like Geoff i love tinned salmon.

Prawn and tinned salmon salad is great, bung a couple of hard boiled eggs on too!

[Marco]

Lol... I think the main problem is that (as far as I can see) neither Geoff nor you are genuine fish lovers. The only fish I've ever seen you eat mate is battered cod, as in 'fish and chips', nothing remotely more challenging!

I you really liked fish, you'd eat it on the bone (un-filleted), like I do, and fresh, not frozen or part of a ready meal. Then it actually tastes like FISH, i.e. you can taste the sea off it, not a cardboard cut-out of such, and you'd also eat seafood.

However, you can only like what you like, but this is why something like 90% of the gorgeous fresh fish and seafood we have on our shores goes abroad, to the likes of France and Spain, as Brits don't like it or don't know what to do with it!!

That's fine, but 'muddy' it ain't, unless a) there was something wrong with it to start with, or b) it wasn't cooked properly. Simples

I've tried every kind of fish and seafood that's come my way. Somebody else can have my share of whelks and fresh oysters.

Just give me a fresh lobster, buttered crusty wholemeal bread, a lump of good stilton, side salad, homemade mayo and I'm in heaven!

i never eat boney fish or on bone as i got a bone stuck in back of throat once and it near killed me.... throat got badly infected etc.. so im careful now. Mostly white fish like haddock and cod, plus salmon or filleted trout.
but im not a foody, and really stick to what i like

Yes now you're talking!

What surprises me though mate, if you don't mind me saying, is that your French heritage never seems to appear in the meals you make, as you (appear) to live off of pie chips and beans, egg and chips or versions of such thereof

A) don't you get bored with that [I'd be climbing the walls, lol], and b) why not be a little more adventurous with food and explore your sexy French side?

Marco.

[walpurgis]

Well I put mayo on my chips. Does that count?

Yeah I know, I was just yanking yer chain... But you can see my point though, surely? Isn't it ironic that we live on an island, which is indigenous with some of the best fish and seafood in the world, and yet the vast majority of our population don't eat it? We just say 'nah, no thanks' and send it abroad...

For me, that's just crazy!!

Lol - come on, I'm making a serious point... It's something I've always been curious about, so spill da beans! No pun intended
