BEST RESTAURANT IN WELLINGTON


BB's kitchen was declared the best place to eat in Welly tonight. The diners where a wee bit biased - The kids were here. We had whitebait fritters, pan fried brill fillets, our amazing new potatoes, the fantastic zucchini salad, and a green salad of our lettuces and herbs.Followed by summer berries tossed with meringues and honey laced sour cream dribbled all over.
Brill is one of my favourite fish, it looks like a flounder that has run into the back of a whale and has a very light pinkish flesh- and we bought it on the bone from Moore Wilsons and filleted it .
Its was all moisty and melty - just how good fish should be.

WELL THIS IS AN INTERESTING STORY


We here at Roarprawn had as nice lunch down by the sea today and on our way home we were given this story that appeared in May of this year in the Dominion.
and this one here
and this one here

For a start, we didn't quite get the significance - we are blonde - other than being a really intriguing story about someone who was accused of being naughty overseas , who got whisked back here so he didn't get hurt and that MFAT was a bit surprised he got a security clearance again. He ended up back in government service working of all things for Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.Then the penny dropped - he was there at about the time the Hoki allocation was decided .Wow, we bet he knows lots about lots of people and stuff.
