Smoked fish
Posted: Sat 20 Jan 2018 15:15
There’s a newish shop (and smokehouse) here called Les Poissons Fumés de Port-Vendres. It’s on quai de La République - ie the RHS of the port, looking out to sea. It’s a bit round the corner, so not somewhere you might fall over by accident.
I’ve been working through some of their stuff (salmon, swordfish, another sort of salmon, sardines, mackerel). It’s all pretty decent, at worst, and nice (for me) to eat something artisanal made 400m from home. It’s not given away.
The best, for me, was probably the cheapest, the smoked mackerel. It is smoked much cooler than the mushy hot-smoked stuff you normally get, and quite unlike it.
Well worth a punt if you’re passing. Give them some encouragement, if only for my sake. Or buy it online.
But they are on their hols until 6 Feb (it was coming away empty-handed which moved me to post this).
