Today first, then the rest.

The catch board is written each morning after the buying. Everything below it is on all week, unless the sea says otherwise.

Catch board

Tap a fish to see the boat.

Each line is one landing. The skipper, the gear and how the kitchen cooks it are all on the card, because a fish caught in a pot off Sandsend is not the same dinner as one trawled from the North Sea.

Allergens: our fryers use beef dripping and share a kitchen with gluten, milk, mustard and crustaceans. Ask any of us for the folder and we will read it with you.

Today on the boardLanded on the morning tide, 06:40
