No Simon today

...collecting newly-married bro from the airport and then off to the seaside with hwsgo before he too flew off somewhere -erm- colder and less interesting. Did find a fish supplier though: the town quayside at Newhaven has a small fish shop stocking local catch; we bought 4 glassy-eyed sardines, then took them home, cleaned them (more bloody yuck) and ate them with salt rubbed on one side, and 1/3 each oil, balsamic vinegar and white wine vinegar rubbed into the other (hwsgo cooked today), with watercress and tiger bread on the side. The fish was lovely, tasty and fresh, and I've made a personal promise to go back and rescue the friends of the lovely large lobster we saw in the shop too. I think the fishmonger was Bickerstaffs, 01273 517890. I should also check out a slightly more local fish shop soon too.

Weight today is 169.3lbs; below the 170 (just), and another pound lost to the ether. Other food consumed: 1 Delice de France Pain au Chocolat, a large machine cappucino (petrol station special), two pints of water and the last pair of the endives.

Mmmm, grilled fish. Simple, and if the fish is good, lovely. You need to overcook it really so the flesh tumbles off and the skin is nicely crispy. The sea salt before grilling gives salty hits too. Yum.
