Long time now since Europe stopped imports of our shellfish and as a lover of seafood why are our fishmongers not full of the stuff and prices rising instead of falling?

The prices are plenty high enough, thank you. Four medium mackerel £5.10! Tourist rates at the moment, more's the pity.

That's what I'm saying Ken, if our boats aren't exporting why are we as consumers not bennifiting?

Because of how our imports have been affected maybe?

I remember reading that 1st one
I tried a similar thing with cheesy beans on toast or 'Lancashire pizza' as it's known in my house...

I was told about the second link but to be honest I haven't really looked into it. Probably something to do with the NWO?

I though that myself a while back. The family kept binge watching hells kitchen and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about with scallops.
When I finally found some fresh ones after looking for a few weeks I didn't like them
Not cheap either

Love them as well along with muscles, shrimp, prawn, crab, crayfish, lobster ect when I used to boat fish we had a huge pan with smoked bacon fat and Mackerell would be straight out the sea and in, the shop bought stuff is not the same.

None of us are that keen on fish in my house, a bit of cod and chips, and a sweet chilli bass with rice is about all we have really.
I used to do a few nights a year fishing an evening tide at Pagham, and we often had bbq'd fish. Mine was usually covered in enough sauce or seasoning so I couldn't taste it

Bloody heathen
My favourite food by far.
Fresh mussels from walney beach. Line caught plaice and cod from the boat. Mackerel on the spinner.
Developed a love of swordfish from my summers in Cornwall too

I like any type of fish that tastes of fish. Can't be doing with that bland and tasteless stuff like sea bass, I'd rather have fish fingers.

I'm just up the road from Pagham, used to catch a lot of bass from Chichester and the river arun but it's over rated eating wise, the arun has a reasonable run of sea trout which I do like.

Is there a decent tackle shop anywhere near Pagham now?
We used to head to bognor angling to get rag and peeler crab, found him really helpful and he'd often hang on for us when driving down after work.

Not that I'm aware of, used get bait from a mate or dig it myself unless heading Eastbourne way I'd go in prime angling Worthing or Tony's at Eastbourne.

You don't want much do you mate? Pagham has Tesco express, a pub and a wooden bus stop I saw a 16 year old building

What do they need a bus stop for, could have put a bait stall there
That's a bit of a trek goose, worthing might be OK tho.
We always dug for lug, but I wouldn't know where to to find rag, and crab was usually the most successful bait.
Il be staying in bracklesham for a few days coming up, I might have to take a rod or two.
Edit
I didn't realise how close Pagham was to bracklesham, from memory there was a shop in East wittering that sold bait. Might be an option for me

I quite fancy fresh mackerel fillets with the Gordon Ramsey apple salad now 
Anyone know a decent catch it-cook it type book, I reckon my boy would really enjoy doing that but I wouldn't know where to start with species like wrasse and Gurnard I remember catching quite regularly

Southern Angling Specialists, Chichester, as said before you can't beat Mackerell cooked straight from the sea in smoked bacon fat.

Perfect
Not tried bacon fat, usually use butter if my waistline can take it, olive oil when it cant
What do you serve with it?

Gurnard are really easy,baked is my favourite with fresh garlic,butter and a bit of salt and lemon juice.It tastes bloody lovely and has a bit of a chicken like texture.

Scallops are best eaten sushi style, raw cut into the thinnest of thin slices. Sublime!
