Staff outing to Billingsgate Fish Market

On the 26th of January at the crack of dawn (3:15am to be precise!), Jonathan the oyster man, Nick the manager, Maria the chef and I headed to Billingsgate Fish Market on an exploratory mission. Take a look at a few photos from our trip below.

Not sure when we will have these curious fellows on the menu, but you must agree the Parrotfish are very photogenic.

The lovely (if a little scary!) Hake, very popular in Europe and gaining in popularity here.

What a lot of prawns, and what a pretty picture they make!

Sous Chef Maria carrying out some quality control.

And to round it off, the slightly flagging Jonathan adding a ‘tiny’ teaspoon of sugar to a well-deserved cuppa. Just to pre-empt the deluge of enquiries – it’s a traditional Icelandic hat!

We can highly recommend a visit to Billingsgate Fish Market – informative, interesting and vibrant.
