What do you do when it's your anniversary and you're craving seafood?
You contact Richard at Pots of Plenty, of course!
We made the 4-hour round trip to Scarborough to buy some of the freshest, highest-quality seafood you can get your hands on.
Was it worth it? Absolutely!
This is my second year buying from Pots of Plenty after my supplier of over 20 years retired and sold his boat to them.
Why not buy locally?
When you buy direct from Pots of Plenty, the seafood is about as fresh as it gets – straight out of the sea! The prices are also fantastic value, but vary depending on the season.
Top tip: if you're buying direct, take a leak-proof box, some ice packs, and a clean wet cloth. Cover the seafood with the wet cloth and place the ice packs on top to keep everything perfectly chilled.
With the hot weather we've had, the seafood was still very alive and FIESTY! In over 30 years of cooking, I'd never been pinched by a crab before... until now. Trust me, it was agony!
Most of the lobsters went straight into my business at MML Secret Spice. As for the rest... take a look at what I've been cooking!
A huge thank you once again to Richard, and to Jamie – you're doing an amazing job with the videos!
If you'd like to order fresh crabs and lobsters, message Richard at Pots of Plenty on 07766 234997.
📍 Collection is from the harbour behind ASK Italian in Scarborough.
Tell them Mei Mei sent you. You won't get a discount... but you might get something thrown in depending on your order size! 😉
P.S. This isn't a sponsored post. I just love supporting great local businesses.
