At 05:30 AM on Saturday 22nd February a small group of Crimehouse Regulars assembled by Crimehouse DLR. A short journey to Blackwell DLR and a similar short walk down to the historic Billingsgate Fish Market. We walked straight in to the market, no queues this time of year and passed an array of two wheeled trolley’s as they are not permitted in the busy yet compact market.
Cold wet and clammy to the touch, that’s enough about Buzzlightgear’s handshake, we walked around the market floor in somewhat of a trance at the vast array of fish and crustaceans for sale.
Monkfish, Red Snapper, King Prawns, Turbot, Halibut you name it, they had it. I picked up four Smoke Kippers and then headed with the group to the cafe for the much talked about Bacon and Scallop crusty roll.
We were not disappointed, fantastic grub washed down with a nice cup of builders tea. I will most certainly be heading there again with a shopping list and seafood recipes in mind.
