An Arbroath Smokie (smoked haddock) especially if you actually buy it in Arbroath. There are many small businesses in the town preparing smoked fish and the quality is far ahead of what can be bought from retailers. Lots of other smoked fish available but  nothing to compare with the haddock,in my opinion.

More years ago than I would like to remember, as a young man I used to dive off the Cornish coast for Crayfish, sweeter than lobster and when you cook the tail (which apart from the claws is all you eat,) cut in half lengthways, butter and lemon with black pepper,grilled for a few minutes - heaven :D:D

Even better, when we were decompressing after deep dives, our boatman would motor off a little way and "whiff" for Mackerel. Anybody who has had one of these fish cooked straight out of the sea within 20 minutes of being caught still having all its natural oils will know what I mean, even better than heaven - PARADISE !!!!

My dad used to go fishing at night and we often had trout in the morning when we woke up.  Would love to have that opportunity now that I could really appreciate it.  We also got occasional salmon,sea trout and venison.  Mince was a luxury we had to pay for it ;) ;)

 :) I would really like to appreciate fish, last year the manager of the hotel we were staying at in Pattaya took us to a fish restaurant, he was a cracking french guy and his wife was from Pattaya, the conversation went from football to fish.!(dont ask) and the restaurant we went to  you people would probably love, as you walked in there were tanks everywhere, thank heavens he did all of the ordering,we had about 8 courses of fish, I only tried 2, he taught me that it was an experience that woke your taste buds, I just could'nt do it and had to pretend I was eating something else,Which tells me I am a skinless, boneless cod in batter person when the fancy takes me.(p.s. he paid the bill) ;)

I was a veggie for 8 yrs and during a 3 week holiday on a remote Greek island I decided Id had enough of feta cheese salad so burnt my bridges and ordered fish...the cute waiter assured me it would be sword fish steak without any trace of an eye or a tail....but u guessed it when it arrived it had head eyes tail belly button and all! I couldnt face it so ended up eating my boyfriends beef stew...which made me ill for days... :) I do eat meat and fish now tho.
