[Leica] Oysters again, amended. - Frank D

[Frank Dernie]

Well Jay I was brought up in Lancashire not far from a fishing port. The fish and chips was good and cheap, about 11d in old money which is about £0.045 in the new…
They were fried in beef dripping.
When I moved to Yorkshire for my apprenticeship they were just as good.
Then I moved to London to University and I never found a good F&C shop anywhere near where I lived for the 3 years I was there.
Now, living in Oxfordshire, the F&C is very variable. There is a van which visits weekly which has good fish, but he cooks in vegetable oil so the flavour is not there.
Some pubs are not too bad but none near what I got as a kid.
So when we go to Kirsty’s on Anglesey I am extremely tempted to go to Conwy for lunch every day.
cheers,
Frank D.

>> Bodnant Gardens and Conwy are staples of our visits to our daughter’s. The church in Conwy with the clock plonked on top of the tower is fascinating but I have never been there when it is open. Conwy has the best fish and chips restaurant I have eaten at in recent years. Bodnant gardens were given to the National Trust a generation ago but the house is still privately owned.
