BY THE SEA
Whetted your appetite for seafood?
Renowned food writer, restaurateur and fishmonger Mitch Tonks is passionate about seafood and is keen for us to taste the best fresh produce the West can provide. So he has got together with train operator First Great Western to produce a new travel guide with West Country food lovers in mind. ”My Little Black Book of Seafood“ is a guide to uncovering the best of the Great Western train network and exploring the hidden seafood gems of the West Country along the way.
Based in Devon, Mitch has used his local knowledge of the region to share with us some of, in his opinion, the best places to eat seafood in the world. Covering everything from little seafood cafés on the beach, to quayside restaurants, this book is a true celebration of seafood and it will be sure to make to any visit to the coast memorable, even when the sun doesn’t shine! What is more, all proceeds from the
book are going to the
Fishermen’s Mission, a charity set up to provide emergency support and practical and emotional care to fishermen, active or retired, and their families hit by loss or affected by serious injury. This is the only charity of its kind in the UK and
it is an invaluable service to those who live and work in fishing communities. On average, 68 fishermen are killed or seriously injured every year and 25 boats are lost. For small towns were fishing can be a way of life and a job passed down from generation to generation, any loss can be devastating and have a lasting effect on everyone. We feel this little book is well worth the £1.50 price tag. You can pick up a hard copy of ”My Little Black Book of Seafood“ on trains, or read a digital version online.
If you have a favourite seafood ‘hidden gem’ that you would like to share with others, please get in touch and let us know. You never know, it could make it into the next book and you could play your part in supporting our fishermen and their families.
