I can't even look.

On a trip which took us just into Scotland earlier this year, we tried
some Larne Sausage and Traditional Mutton Pies. (We always like to try
local foods.)

Both were excellent but not something I'd eat regularly- way too much fat.

I'd hoped to visit the (fairly) famous Bee/Honey place just south of
Berwick but our plans went awry.

That I will, happily, do.

Some years back, in fact before we even had our children, we went away
for a short break in Suffolk. 'Senior Management' had booked it as a bit
of a surprise- I'd been traveling a lot on business and we needed a
break. She found an excellent B&B in, I think Friston (I may be wrong
they but no matter). My business trips at the time were mainly 'sea
trials' and breakfast was invariably a 'fry up' and, while I enjoy the
occasional 'full English', I was sick of the sight of them. I didn't eat
one for months unless there was no option. The host asked what we would
like, of course 'full English' was top of her list. Obviously my face
said it all. So she offered fresh fish- she would pop to Aldeburgh
before breakfast and cook it all but still swimming. Next morning we
were presented with poached cod on toast, it was fantastic. Well, I
thought so. Thankfully, she was happy to do my wife something else on
the remaining days ;-) Other days she did me various fish based breakfasts.

We've returned to the area numerous times but, unfortunately, the B&B is
no longer there but there is an excellent hotel in Aldeburgh we use.

Haddock or Cod is fine but not Skate- tastes OK but too fiddly to eat!

I once tried an alternative- I can't think what it was- may have been
Polack?. The actual fish was fine but the batter was poor quality. If
the batter had been better, I'd happily have eaten it next time.

Does the new hotel serve similar meals?

They have kippers for breakfast but not poached cod. The do have some
excellent fish on the dinner menus.

There is also place in Norfolk we visit which does excellent crab.

We lucky to have an excellent fish restaurant in Whitstable which we use
quite often. Being right in the harbour, the fish is a fresh as it can
possibly be.

favourite lunches, 40+ years back.

That I will, happily, do.
Some years back, in fact before we even had our children, we went away
for a short break in Suffolk. 'Senior Management' had booked it as a
bit of a surprise- I'd been traveling a lot on business and we needed
a break. She found an excellent B&B in, I think Friston (I may be
wrong they but no matter). My business trips at the time were mainly
'sea trials' and breakfast was invariably a 'fry up' and, while I
enjoy the occasional 'full English', I was sick of the sight of them.
I didn't eat one for months unless there was no option. The host asked
what we would like, of course 'full English' was top of her list.
Obviously my face said it all. So she offered fresh fish- she would
pop to Aldeburgh before breakfast and cook it all but still swimming.
Next morning we were presented with poached cod on toast, it was
fantastic. Well, I thought so. Thankfully, she was happy to do my wife
something else on the remaining days ;-) Other days she did me various
fish based breakfasts.
We've returned to the area numerous times but, unfortunately, the B&B
is no longer there but there is an excellent hotel in Aldeburgh we use.

Not only that but Aldeburgh (pronounced Oll-bruh) has one of the best
fish & chip shops in the UK!

Which one? We don't often have fish and chips but may be the next time
we visit we will give them a try.

I can't even look.
On a trip which took us just into Scotland earlier this year, we
tried some Larne Sausage and Traditional Mutton Pies. (We always
like to try local foods.)
Both were excellent but not something I'd eat regularly- way too much fat.
I'd hoped to visit the (fairly) famous Bee/Honey place just south
of Berwick but our plans went awry.

I do live in Scotland and you are very welcome to my share of all that <g>
Besides which. I prefer to make my own:)

Most kind but, while they were 'nice to try', they aren't something I'd
eat that often. Rather like fish and chips- now and then but don't make
a habit of it.
Kippers, on the other hand.....
=========
Pleeeeeeeeaseeee have my share of kippers!!!!

That I will, happily, do.

It's towards the south end of the main street shopping area. It's called
the "Aldebourgh Fish and Chip Shop." You can't miss it as there is
always a queue. Its northern neighbour, on the other side of the lane,
is a single storey pub "The White Hart", which sells Adnam's ales.
