The king is dead, long live the king! The UK seafood restaurant scene is witnessing a culinary renaissance that redefines the traditional perception of fish fodder. With seafood variety an abundance in the British isles, our renowned gourmet maestros capitalise on this gift of the sea with an innovative approach that turns even a casual seafood lover into an aficionado. The Cornish coast flaunts Rick Stein's flagship restaurant in Padstow, which has become a pilgrimage site for seafood enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Nathan Outlaw's two Michelin star restaurant in Port Isaac offers an exquisite selection of locally sourced seafood, confirming the high-value of eating locally and seasonally. Unassuming but remarkable, 'Ondine' in Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, is a gem in the crown, while London's pop-up turned permanent 'Prawn on the Lawn' reinterprets the seafood scene with its bold, tapas-style flavour explosions. Not to mention, Michelin-starred 'Angler' dazzles with its impressive presentation and flavours. Furthermore, rumour has it that TV's beloved Gordon Ramsay's 'Petrus' delivers a seafood experience that impeccably entwines finesse and comfort. Celebrity chefs in the UK are augmented by seafood's versatility, turning the dining scene from discerning to demanding. British seafood dining is assuredly not a fish out of water, but more accurately, the most polished pearl in the oyster of international cuisine.
