Otter Ferry and scampi

This was another little village we used to visit when we went on our summer holidays when we were small.

If we went down in the morning we would spend the day fishing off the small pier you can see in the photo and then we would go off for lunch at the restaurant you can see in the picture.  Incidentally, it seems to have become quite an upmarket eatery since then.

Almost fort years ago, when we went, it was run by a middle-aged couple who used to serve scampi in baskets, which was quite delicious

Which, according to Wikipedia, was a culinary preparation for small lobster!! But I'm not too sure if that was what we were really eating at all.  Anyway, check this article out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scampi.  Other days we used to go for afternoon tea, just the usual, scones, cakes and lemonade...

More about scones tomorrow...
