In Nantwich we're very lucky to have a good baker (Chatwins) a good butcher (Clewlows) and a good fishmonger (Sea Breeze) all within yards of each other.
Good fish shops usually have parsley available, but when we went to Sea Breeze they also had samphire.The owner is very knowledgeable and will give advice if asked.
I've enjoyed monkfish tails for a long time, but recently heard a chef recommend monkfish cheeks. I was delighted that my local fishmonger, Sea Breeze had them in stock. They need skinning (but they'll do that for you). Mine were a good size - slightly larger than a scallop . They cook very quickly in a hot pan -no more than 2 or 3 minutes on each side.
They also had wild English sea bass (from Filey) and Scottish halibut.
I took Channel 4 reporter, Andrew Webb, to Sea Breeze (to put on the Channel 4 Big British Food map), click here to see a video of Paul filleting the Filey sea bass.
