I work near the docks, which makes it perfect for a bit of hunting and gathering at going home time. I mean, just a short stroll towards Salamanca we have the high quality Wursthaus butcher, cheese and small goods seller, and the Salamanca fruit market. In the other direction we have any number of punts selling "fresh as" seafood. And then there is the view!
So tonight I am hunting and gathering for bouillabaisse. This is not easy for two. The dish lends itself to big group cooking. Nevertheless, small handful of mussells, another of prawns, some baby octopus and a couple of fillets of flathead will do the trick.
While it is tasty, its a bit watery as well. And she announces that she doesn't like shell fish much. Hmm, not one of the great successful hunting and gathering expeditions!
I also made some improvised baked beans which will come in useful later in the week.
