The fish stall… English Market Cork

So much choice on this stall ….every variety of fish you could think of!
The disgusting looking fish with the massive mouth is a Monk fish.
I have never feasted one but my youngest son in NZ says it’s a nice fish. He knows his fish too.

I couldn’t sleep in the night so was watching the funeral of the King of the Māoris who died last week.
Ant our youngest son used to live in a village near Ngaruawahia…..the village where the King lives. I remember going to have a look at the place the royal family live.
There were thousands there as the took him up Mount Taupiri to the burial compound.

I like fish. We had monk fish in a Greek meze, some years ago. Nice capture of the stall.

What an array of fish - the monk fish does look ugly - and have never eaten it , in fact my choice of fish is quite conservative , in spite of eating fish two to three times a week !

Wow that's an awesome selection of fish. I think Allan cooked it some years ago but .. I really don't remember the event!!
Watching that funeral would have been quite an event, especially when you have such strong NZ family links!

@rensala couldn’t smell a thing Renee! Our fishing son says if you can smell fish in a shop it’s not fresh!!

Beautiful array of fish on display. I did not like fish because of the smell when not yet cooked or the spine. Now I have started to prefer them than meat but they have to be served filleted.

Good shot Pat. I read about the Maori King having died on BBC news, and how his daughter was sworn in on the day her father was buried

A great selection of fish. I tend to eat a lot of fish

We have monk fish quite often but never see a market like this! One would hope he would sell all of these fresh fish!
That new Maori Queen looked as if she thought - what the hell is happening - what am I in for!
