Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas

My friend Biddy from France came to stay for the night. We went for drinks and nibbles at Toast ED/ Toaste.d. (Toast, East Dulwich - confusing and variable branding) which specialises in natural wine. Tried an amazing savoury Spanish white that had been left on the skins - intensely smoky with heavy petrol. The salted almonds were great. But we didn't fancy any of the food so we refilled bottles of their white wine sold from tanks and got fish and chips on the way home. The fantastic fish 'n chips place round the corner (Semas) was already closed at 10:30pm, so we took a special trip to the Flying Fish in Camberwell. I've been meaning to try it for years as it claims to serve the "The best fish & chips in South London". It doesn't. The chips were nice but the batter on the fish was horrible - there was a huge stodge of raw batter stuck to the fish that needed to be scraped off to make the fish edible. Shame.

Had left over Caribbean style chicken soup for lunch.
