The plaice and chips at Rick Stein's in Falmouth was so good I wept when they took my plate away. When the waitress asked what I wanted for dessert I seriously contemplated ordering plaice and chips. Think they use dripping instead of batter and it is damn good.
Had some Rick Stein's fish & chips in Padstowe. They came complete with a slice of lemon and a sprig of parsley. The queue was out the door and bout 100 yds along the prom. I had to use my special, patented, secret queue avoidance technique. | Click to see full-size image. |

This place opened up near my old flat a few years ago. http://www.thefishclub.com/Not traditional and not at all cheap, but very good. Used to serve up the likes of gunnard and razor clams on occasion. The owners were fairly passionate about what they were doing. Glad to see they seem to be still surviving and have another shop. |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Having spent many a day in Padstowe there at least 2 other chip shops which are better than Rick Steins and funilly enough a lot lot cheaper. Obv this is just my opinion and I've got the waist to prove it.

If you can find the time to explore these sites then you will make Tikay extremely jealous. http://www.cornish-mining.org.uk/ |

Great pics Tom. We love Cornwall, took the 3 kids there when they were 10,12,14 years old. Have taken them on many hols abroad, however our St.Ives holiday with daily trips to other towns still one of their faves.
Mevagissey is another lovely narrow street town. Mousehole too is a smashing harbour village.
Keep the pics comming.

What is your secret queue avoidance technique? I wont tell anyone. Do you pretend to be a pregnant lady?

I used to work in a fish and chip shop and I'm happy to admit that sliding the fish in slowly to achieve a better result was a much lower priority for me than getting the fish in the fryer without getting burnt was I thought as well as assisting the batter to seal and not stick to the pan they slid the fish (and other items) into the deep frier, to avoid splashing hot oil over themselves??
