Up before dawn, we traveled across London in search of Billingsgate Fish Market, which was about one hour from our 5W host Robin’s apartment. We passed many important London landmarks, barely visible in the dark foggy morning. Luckily we were greeted by a host of charismatic Cockney fish merchants, sliding, slapping and selling huge quantities of every kind of sea creature imagineable. The first fish we noticed were beautiful yellowed tail snappers (where they were from only the Cockneys truly knew)- in the end, after splashing through the many rows upon rows of fish stands we settled on the very first fish we had seen and purchased them whole, fins, eyes , tails and all for the evening fish feast.
