[Cambridge] Fishmongers?

[karohemd]

tooth_fairy's post about overfishing and endangered fish reminded me that I don't eat as much fish as I should. Considering I buy my meat from local butchers (who source their wares from reasonably local farms), I should really buy fish from independent shops, too.

Any recommendations gratefully received.

There's a fish stall on the market, not sure which days it's there though.

Ah yes, true. I'll have to trek out very early on a Saturday, then.

That sounded in my head like it was "Damn, those fishes are getting endangered! Better eat me one afore thays all gone!"

I should be spoilt as the Fish market in B'ham is excellent, but somehow I never manage to make it there :(

Heh, yes. The post also implied that I won't rush out to Tesco's or whereever and just buy their wares.

Some of the best fish & seafood I've had has been from supermarkets. Most of their stock is generally a bit average, though (unsurprisingly!).

I think this might be enough to motivate me to go into town tomorrow, with any luck. I think there's some scallops calling my name :D

Mmm, scallops. :o)

Well, finding that out was the point of this post. :o)

*nods* Definitely. I will never forget that very plainy poached cod (just served with melted butter, parsley and potatoes) in Norway. The fish had been out of the water for about three hours before being cooked. The mackerels we had in Scotland were similar.

Look, having my mouth water at work is just undignified.
