February 4, 20241 yr comment_4093705 Try Sharwoods Kung po sauce with chicken or prawns, thinly slice half a cucumber and add for the last five minutes cooking, we serve ours with McCain oven chips.

Found some of this in the deepest depths of our larder a few months back, wouldn't normally use sauces from a jar but this was rather good.

Although it says serves 4 on the jar, I use the whole jar for two of us, we like plenty of sauce.

Exactly £10 , £7.50 the fish and £2.50 regular chips , although the chips were enough for two and the fish is cooked while you wait , nowadays it's just a treat now and again .

Reason im asking, before i retired i fished with a cheffie bloke, Galton somebody, he told me he had a restaurant and chip shop, he said it was about £15 for a fish supper, that was about 10 years ago. He also said if i could i would shut the fancy restaurant and buy another chip shop.

The chap your talking about ( Galton Blackiston ) own another well to do fish and chip shop in Cromer this is a big one and you can dine inside with a sea view , both of them are busy this time of the year and are packed all day and every day throughout the Summer , he also own Morston Hall near Blakeney which is a Michelin starred hotel . the chap certainly isn't short of a few bob .

Yes it is one of life's little treats just sitting near the pier and watching the ships and the people passing by , a fair ole breeze yesterday but it was nice and mild without the crowds you get in the Summertime . 9 hours ago, billytheghillie said: Thats the chappie, Fluxie used to bring him fishing with us.

I think he have got his head screwed on where pounds , shillings and pence are concerned and by all accounts the locals speak well of him , in the early stages of the pandemic he donated all his food to the locals after the lock downs in the pubs and eating out places .
