Steve, thanks for reminding me that I haven't had much seafood recently (except prawns) so, today after a few hours out on the bike(engined) we popped to the seafood stall, Just had a selection of seafood - cockles, brown shrimps, jellied eels and a few winkles - Yummy

A nice plate, but too fiddly de-shelling prawns Now jellied eels I can pass on, but I have tried them of course. I guess it's an Essex/East End/East Ham thing. I know I tried all that stuff when I used to visit West Ham for footy back in the day. Pie and Liquour (however you spell it). Stopped shored of a Pearly king Suit though

How do you know his name is steve?

It's hardly a secret

Ah, well, the main thing is you tried them, jellied eels and stewed eels are very different...
By the way, I don't peel brown shrimp - bend 'em so you can hold the head and tail in your fingertips, just eat the middle, shell an' all
