    Greeno, somethings just seem and sound, well, not quite right. Battered Mackerel is one such🐟🐠🐡I'll be lead by your good taste 😋 and if you're pleased with the result 👍👍Crab Cakes, posh nosh, looked a tadge overcooked to me, but again I'll bow to your local knowledge and taste. Now the Cod&Chips. Looked proper, old fashioned chippy style and nothing wrong with that. Chips, a little clumping, brilliant. Cod a soggy bottom, sadly due to the walk about. However, overall the real deal. At a price that makes us down South, weep😭😭😳. Are you never tempted to splash out on a pickled onion or a wally 🧅🥒? Good local video, great looking car park. Tourist Office must be well happy to see local amenities showcased. Until the next video Allan&Family Cheers

    Hi Greeno
    Well the shocker for me here was the fried Mackerel, never would i of considered this, but it really seems to work, i 100% try this if i get the chance.
    Crab cakes i prefer shallow fried, but again Marlboro seem's to have got it write.
    I come to the fish and Chips last as for the price, portion size, looks and taste etc, i can't imagine anyone would complain.
    A definite 5 for me also, great vlog and review (be it in the carpark)

    That food looked amazing! I know I have said it before, but as a lover of all things fish and seafood related, I am quite a harsh critic of fishcakes including crabcakes and I once had a lobstercake salad at a London hotel once which was divine. But what I am skeptical and critical of is when I am served a fishcake with 90% potato and 10% fish. However the crabcake in your review looked amazing, I could actually see the crabmeat.
    The fish and chips looked lovely too. In my local chippy, that size portion would be at least £15, depending on the type of fish; although 99.9% of the time, my "go to" is cod.
    I know I have also said this recently, but I must get myself down south and try the infamous mackerel, it has featured a few times on the channel and I am so intrigued.
    (sea)Gulls are a damn pest! They are the rats of the sky. The overconfidence of some boils down to idiot people feeding them, thus they get used to human interaction, hence you will often see signs telling people not to feed them.

    I miss Mackerel! We don't get it (other than dried or canned) over here. We used to love going on the Mackerel boats at Lyme Regis - and it was so rare not to come away with at least one fish each! Sometimes we'd catch far more than we could reasonably eat - if we were right over a shoal! One of my favourite ways to have it is with broad beans (taken out of the skins if they are bigger) and a gooseberry sauce! It cuts through the oiliness and adds a real punch to the flavour - no need for any potatoes, a piece of bread and butter was all you'd need, to mop the plate! I have never had it in batter, but if I saw it on a menu, I'd get it!

The fish has great volume and I can imagine the flavour and texture to be wonderful.
