a pint o' prawns

Over the weekend a little 1820's cottage in Lyme Regis was our home by the sea. A stroll from the cottage was a fishmongers with some fishy delights. A pint o' prawns for £3 does not happen very often. What better than to whip up a little mix of good quality mayo, olive oil, lemon juice, a small crushed garlic clove, ketchup, lots of black pepper and a sprinkle of salt, to dip the little guys in. 


Buttered hot toast, lemon and a cuppa is all one needs to set you up for a day by the seaside!   

Everyone likes a sardine

Dad's stuffed sardines

A little mixture of garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, capers and any other tasty fish loving flavours; stuffed into the little gutted fellows; topped with some crusty Maldon and whacked under a toasty hot grill (or do as dad would do and get a Weber bbq involved of course).
