Had the pleasure of eating at The Little Fish Market on Saturday, and honestly it was one of the best meals I’ve eaten in a very long time. Every course was incredibly flavoursome, thoughtful, and genuinely interesting without ever feeling overcomplicated. You could really feel the attention to detail and quality in every dish. Having spent over 20 years working as a chef myself before changing careers, I don’t say this lightly — it was probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish.
