Tom just said to me “haha wouldn’t it be funny if you were on death row and you requested a really nice last meal but by accident they gave you Souffled Sole Creams with Champagne Sauce and Salmon Caviar?”

Yes Tom, I’d really like that.

Little Delia can think again on the carrot cake issue. Mum gave me a much better Cranks recipe.

There isn’t a a fishmonger in bristol. There are two in Westbury and one in Easton but that is it, so my only option is to go to sainsburys.

As a child we used to buy our fish from Macfisheries a national chain of fishmonger. Probably they were as bad as Mountstevens but at least there was another option than sainsburys frozen fish counter.

The History

Macfisheries became established in the early 1900’s as a well known chain of fishmongers. The company originated in Scotland but was soon a familiar sight, with almost every town in Britain having a high street branch of Macfisheries. Due to the increasing popularity of supermarkets sweeping Britain during the 1960’s the Macfisheries shops gradually closed.

Someone needs to open a nice independent one on my street. I moved to a city to have access to bigger and better things but it seems that the smaller market towns I visit like Cirencester and lewes are far better equipped than Bristol. Fishmongers galore there.
