Happy New Year everybody!
Wanted to mention this new stall starting THIS SUNDAY as there have been a few attempts to introduce a market fishmonger before which haven't worked out. This, though, is the best we've had! and I'm really keen to get the word around so I hope you'll excuse this bit of promo.
Martin Yorwarth is the fisherman and it'll either be him or his wife who'll be selling it. They'll be fishing with their 2 small boats off the coast of Newhaven on SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING, meaning that the fish will be glistening fresh when it arrives.
Recent catches have included Lemon Sole, Squid, whiteing, Gurnards, Plaice, Crabs, Turbot, Dabs, Dover Sole, Horse Mackeral & Skate
The prices are good and they're lovely people too.
More info about the market including a few other new stalls at www.stroudgreenmarket.com/this week
THANK YOU EVERYONE who comes to visit and buy their groceries or even just have a mooch around and a cup of coffee! It's really thrilling and so encouraging how much support we've had recently: since September I've felt that it really can be a sustainable and long term feature which hopefully benefits the area.
As always, any feedback's really welcome...
Bye for now!

Of course what he brings is entirely governed by the shipping forecast and various other water-related gods, but he's hoping to be able to bring a greater quantity and variety in future.
When the weather calms down they'll have more time to smoke some of the catch too.
See you again soon...
I never understood what gods were supposed to get out of the whole animal sacrifice thing. What would an omnipotent being get out of a sentient mortal killing a non-sentient one anyway? They didn't even eat them as far as I can tell.
By the way, the new fish stall is really good and well priced. Such a great addition to the market!!!
