Memorable Meal Experience
"I think it’s more down to who you’re with and where it is, than the food that makes a meal memorable. When I was on my tour, I went to Riley’s Fish Shack in King Edward’s Bay, Tynemouth. Two shipping containers lined with driftwood joined together on the beach create a fantastic setting. It was a cold day, and they had little wood burners at table height. On the menu was exactly the right dish: a lovely crab soufflé with Thermidor sauce."
Rick Stein’s connection to food is rooted in joy, company, and treasured traditions, making each meal a meaningful experience.
