15 SHIMMER a plaice in the sun


Of all the culinary delights that warmer weather brings,


nothing hits the spot quite like a portion of super-fresh fi sh (and go on, chips too!), so reel


in a taste of summer from some of the UK’s best fi sh stops.


1


Anstruther Fish Bar & Restaurant [Anstruther, Fife]


This place doesn’t just serve award-winningly good fi sh and chips


– it provides an entire ‘fi sh experience’. While waiting for your battered catch, you can chat to the owners about their


family’s 400 years in the fi shing industry and watch genuine footage of life at sea from the 1950s to the present day. anstrutherfi shbar.co.uk


2


Aldeburgh Fish & Chip Shop [Aldeburgh, Suff olk]


If you want to enjoy your fi sh and chips surrounded by outstanding views of an unspoilt coastline, then this is the place. This tiny takeaway bar is perfectly positioned so you can sit on the beach watching the waves while you eat. aldeburghfi shandchips.co.uk


3


Nathan Outlaw at the St. Enodoc Hotel [Rock, Cornwall]


Padstow devotees take note: chef Nathan Outlaw is the new name on the Cornwall seafood scene. Awarded two Michelin stars,


Holy mackerel!


Outlaw uses locally sourced fi sh to create some seriously fi ne dining. Soused mackerel with Jerusalem artichoke anyone? enodoc-hotel.co.uk


4


Fisherman’s Pier Fresh Fish & Chips [Tobermory, Isle of Mull]


Not many catering vans can claim they’ve won the prestigious ‘Les


Routiers’ award. But then, not many can boast a menu like Jane and Jeanette’s. From mackerel to king scallops, their fresh fi sh is absolutely, in the words of Prince Charles after he sampled their goods, ‘delicious’.

Harbour Lights [Falmouth, Cornwall] If you want to appease your appetite


and your conscience in equal measure, head to Harbour Lights, winners of The Good Catch Award for their sustainable fi sh practices. As fi sh stocks are under threat globally, these guys off er tasty alternatives to the classics, such as


hake and pollock, and refuse to serve cod roe, so as not to reduce spawning numbers of the endangered fi sh. harbourlights.co.uk

CAMPING ON AIR


What better way to enjoy the sun than to pack up the family for a holiday in the shiniest campervan of all? The iconic silvery Airstream was fi rst created by a Los Angeles lawyer over 70 years ago, and quickly became king of the trailers: even US President John F Kennedy used an Airstream as a mobile offi ce in the early 1960s. With their space-age look and vintage cred, these cool aluminium cans on wheels still capture hearts today – a futuristic new prototype was unveiled in California earlier this year. A number of UK camping sites feature static trailers to stay in, or you can hire one for your own adventure. airstream-rentals.co.uk
