Applebee's Fish

After our high tea at the Savoy, we didn't think we would be eating again but as we got off the river boat we headed towards Borough Market which is one of the largest and oldest food markets in the United Kingdom. We walked and crossed the London Bridge. It was cold but a lot of people were outside drinking and smoking.

After our long walk we finally ended up at the market. There were lots of restaurants. Gary had to look at his list of restaurants that were worth investigating. We looked at 3 of them and decided on the last one which was Applebee's Fish Restaurant.

As we walked in the nice warm room they asked if we had reservations as they were fully booked.  We of course didn't have any but I guess he took mercy on us and asked if we didn't mind sitting on the high chairs. At this point we would have sat on the floor just to be warm and  get some warm food.

The special of the evening was a combination of different fish; salmon, cod, hake, swordfish and shrimp. Marie and I had the special, Gary had the cod fish and Sandi had her fish and chips. We all loved our fish; fresh as can be and very tender. The only thing that could have been improved was the batter of the fish on the fish and chips. It was not crispy as the breading was way too thick. Well, at least she enjoyed the fish with malt vinegar and the chips.

We had the chocolate fondant and a saffron raspberry creme brulee for dessert. We shared everything which was good because we really could  not have had individual desserts.
