Fresh Fish From The Lobster Pot





Problem
Fresh fish - affordable fish or special fish?

Answer
Next door to Cobbs Farm shop, as usual we stepped into The Lobster Pot to check the available fish. Nowadays whether you are in restaurant or fishmongers or supermarket, Dover sole is expensive (because it is rare) and lemon sole cheaper but still not cheap.

We opted to buy plaice. We were served by fishmonger Keith Morgan. We spotted that the name Morgan is Welsh, the name Keith is Welsh, but he is English.

Another branch of his shop is in Swindon.

I picked up the business card. On the back of the Lobster Card with ten copies of the picture of a lobster. When it is full, says the car, you get a free special offer fish of £5 off your next purchase. We had forgotten to get our card marked. However, if you only visit once a year, it would take you ten years to earn your free fish and you'd have to remember your card and hope they didn't discontinue the card. (I am a keen loyalty card collector.)

If you are a regular, and go every week, ask if the loyalty card is still operating.

The card says they are open for fish Tuesday-Sunday.
