Norfolk seemed to be one of the few places in the east of England that saw the clouds thin in perfect timing for Friday’s eclipse. Having missed the 1999 eclipse, I was very excited to see it and it didn’t disappoint! In some ways we were very grateful for the cloud as it meant we could look at it without any fancy eclipse glasses and not go blind.
Recently, to celebrate (or mourn) the end of mussel season, we made an amazing meal of local seafood using the last of the year’s local mussels.
Beautiful local mussels from The fish shed in Brancaster, which has an excellent selection of fresh, local seafood
Seared Sea bream with mussels, scallops, prawns, saffron potatoes (using smoked Norfolk saffron, which, by the way, is a fantastic ingredient, we praise the day we discovered it!), pepperade and lemon dressed fennel with a sea-food bisque. Next up: crab season!
