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.

chartpolski 20,497 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 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……. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. 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 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
