I love good seafood - fresh, tasty and doesn't even really need anything but just a touch of garlic, perhaps a dusting of chili and some lemon. Difficult to cook - or at least, this is something I have difficulty with.
Potentially, because I don't try. Being from Cape Town - da mother city in da house - I don't really like seafood in London. Not only is the squid (my favourite) often badly cooked but unless you go to a specialist, most restaurants don't serve it very fresh or in an interesting way.
Calamari rings - unless touched by the hand of a cooking god - are boring, boring and did I mention boring. Nasty pre-battered and oily rings - a la pub - seem a crime against seafood but not sure if we can get people prosecuted for this?
Note to self - check out if this is possible. I'm also not hugely keen on British fish. Please don't shoot me but I don't find it as fresh as I like (or at least not in London) and not nearly meaty enough. Don't mean taste of steak but just solid - tuna vs. sole.
Wonder if anyone can suggest a good value restaurant which beats this stereotype? Any Ideas? L xx
