Here in Plymouth, we like our ocean clean and our gin martinis’ dirty. Nestled in a beautiful corner of the southwest coast, our story and the sea are inseparable – much like gin and tonic.
Since 1793, the Southwest coastline and its traditions have been the constant backdrop of our craft. That is why we are proud to be partnering with the Ocean Conservation Trust, encouraging Brits to explore the coast this year, but ensure they leave nothing behind.
Unripened green tomatoes have a great acidity that works well with oily fish like sardines and they have a nice firm texture that gives a nice crunchy texture. I’ve used bladder wrack seaweed on the open fire here but at home you can simply grill or barbeque them.
Fresh UK anchovies are a bit of a rarity but I season they are prolific off our coasts and often get sent straight off to France and Spain so we do need to encourage our fishermen to hang on to some of them for us.
People don’t poach fish these days and it’s a nice clean and easy way to cook fish fillets as people seem to have a phobia about cooking fish. The oil and water solution also create a nice and clean natural liquid to dress the fish with.
