Fish Market, London 12-2012

Looking for new places around Shoreditch/Spitalfields revealed three new places located in a row at the converted Old Bengal Warehouse. The places are Old Bengal Bar (drinks), New Street Grill (meat) and Fish Market (seafood).

Fish Market supposedly only serves sustainable seafood and as I was craving ocean flavours, this seemed the logical choice to try for lunch. There is a cheap lunch menu but the a la carte selections sound much more inviting.

Complementary bread had a wonderful crust to start things off.

- Fish Market Prawn Cocktail - recommended to me over the lobster cocktail. Small prawns and cocktail sauce were average, but the large boiled prawn sitting atop was deliciously sweet and I wanted more;
- Fish Pie (haddock, Loch Var salmon & prawns) - pie filling ingredients cooked perfectly with a hint of dill. Crunchy prawns, soft delicate salmon, meaty haddock all with their individual tastes and textures.

There are plenty more options on the menu I will go back for.

Next time I would order some new things to try - Lobster Bisque, Sea Bass Ceviche, White Wine Mussels, Fish & Chips or Crustacea in the Shell (whelks, winkles, shrimps).
