Close to the bone
It’s incredible that today there is still a strange stigma about eating fish on the bone here at home. When we are abroad that fear is lost and when it comes to fish, we are happy to eat what is presented to us, bones and all. I’m sure some of your happiest holiday memories will be of fish served that way, with a simple wedge of lemon in beach restaurants, from the Greek islands to the coast of Spain. When fish is that fresh, it really doesn’t need anything else.
Roy Brett: Newhaven fish and chips
THE next month is a big one. After a year-long building project I’m opening a brand-new venture with my long-time friend and fish merchant Gary Welch. It is the realisation of a long-term dream for us both. You might not think of Edinburgh as a fishing port, but the Society of Free Fishermen in Newhaven dates back to 1572.
