Cockles, Jellied eels, Scampi tails at East Street Market

Seafood stalls are a dying breed especially in London.

I have been meaning to visit this seafood stall at East Street Market for ages however getting there is quite difficult.

This is one of the few stalls left which is only there on Saturdays but it was encouraging to see that there was continuous flow of customers.

They had almost everything from Micks jellied eels, cockles, brown shrimps, crayfish, winkles to whelks.

I ended up getting brown shrimps, crayfish, cockles and fresh scampi tails for £10.50!!!

The cockles were the best with lots of pepper, salt and vinegar, a true English classic which is less appreciated these days.

Brown shrimps are rewarding but time consuming peeling these tiny buggers.

The Scampi tails were nice but size matters as the bigger the better because there is less grit in them.

The crayfish just taste like the usual but not so briny.
