Captain Kernow

Padstow aka Steinstow, he owns 3/4 of the village. Went there about ten years ago Restaurants and a  Bakery were virtually all his . The Fish & Chips bought from him were average at best, no idea now I wont be finding out again either after reading the link !!.

As long as there are punters prepared to sit at his tables and pay his prices…..And be impressed…Then he’ll thrive..Yes they still exist, 

  Preparation & cooking of fresh sea fish is or should be straightforward but it is surprising that so often it goes wrong between pan and plate and becomes a dried out overcooked  tragedy. 
 
I went online after reading this blog to see if one of my favourite fish chefs is still in business as so often the catering trade  is beset by the collapse of star rated restaurants,especially in the present circumstances.It appears that Mitch Tonks is still in business at The Seahorse in Dartmouth,next door to his  chippie Rockfish .A long while since my late wife and I ate there and it is remembered by me as then was somewhere special. I hope it still remains thus. If anyone cares to give either eating place a try,perhaps they might post their impressions here. .?  

Whitby is a great place for F & C I am told. Combine with a visit to the NYMR 

My besty is opposite the Donny Racecourse in the old Fire Station. Might even be called Whitby's? Does GF stuff properly too.
