Last week I went to Occombe farm for a shellfish tasting with Mitch Tonks.
I took Rich and Trista with me, it was my birthday present to them, I am a genuius gift giver, can you think of anything better?! and I got to come too!!!
The menu was lovely, I'm a massive massive fish fan, so was is fishy heaven.
Marinated scallops (beautiful and fresh tastes yum yum)
Herring roe on toast (mmm loads of butter yum yum)
Mussels with chilli (just a tiny bit of heat yum yum)
Shellfish stew (yum)
Mitch came round the tables and seemed like a really nice guy, him and Rich tried to sell me on Twitter so I'm giving it a go, I am yet to be convinced.
All the food was lovely I got loads each course and really struck gold with a whole lobster claw in my stew. Tip for Mitch (as if he's interested in what I have to say) just a touch less Saffron next time please.
We sat next to a lovely lady who was there on her own, she turned out to be a friend of a friend of a friend, it's a small world!!
Not sure how Occombe farm can afford to offer all this and a large glass of wine for £15 but long may in continue.
