Fish from the West - simply the best!

Well, so says that cheeky Fishmonger Matt at one of Rex Goldsmith's shops in home of the blues (not Robert Johnson) Chelsea, SW3. Check out his latest posting eulogising over the best that the West can offer in the way of fish, shellfish and other gastronautical delights - no wonder Floyd loved this part of the world.

To be fair, his shop does serve the best that money can buy in terms of produce and to the customers who choose to shop there - but it is only one shop in a town with over 7 million people all bounded within the limits of the tube train network. Nowadays at sea, the cramming fish into boxes filled with crushed nub ice stacked ten high or shelved feet deep in a fishroom and then brutally shovelled into baskets on landing day are for the most part gone - these days the customer is king and those fishermen who take best care of their catch should profit from the more discriminating buyer - yet another reason to see that the service provided by Newlyn Harbour is second to none in order that the number of outlets like Matts and the customer base increases.
