Amy and I hopped on the tube, and a short walk later we were on Swallow Street. There are 3 Fishwork restaurants, Swallow street, Marleybone high street and Richmond. Our reservation was for 7.30pm and we walked past the fresh fish counter to be seated by the window. Fish can be purchased from here so this restaurant also doubles up as a fishmonger.
Sauvignon Blanc was the wine of choice. I ordered Fresh whole plaice with lemon butter,grilled tuna with soy and mirin for Amy and fillet of sea bass with rosemary for Nat. Our sides were new potatoes with herbed butter, wilted spinach and a bread board with aioli and salsa verdi. We had a very informative waitress who knew the entire menu and all wines to compliment.
We "clinked" our glasses to toast just because we could, We are all in our twenties and we filled the room with infectious harmonised laughter as we swapped embarrassing stories from the days gone by and enjoyed the night away.
I have to say this is great quality fish, simply cooked and tasted amazing. The flavours were uncomplicated which let the quality of the fish speak for itself. Perfect for a warm late may evening.
We carried out the night at a local pub just a few streets down on Dover Street "The Clarence". Three cocktails and a cheap bottle of plonk later we were all a wee bit merry- mission accomplished :) Back on the tube I closed my eyes for what I thought was a minute and before I knew it I was home in West Hampstead again.
