Mains

 There’s a reason this Normandy classic has stood the test of time and that’s down to its simplicity and rustic flavour. Seafood lovers will adore this starter and it’s so quick to cook. Take time to clean the mussels before you start and discard any shells that have already opened. Serving with loads of crusty baguette to soak up the juices is also a must.

Synonymous with towns like Brighton and Bournemouth, fish, chips and mushy peas brings a quintessential taste of the British seaside to your dinner table.
