Fishy treats ….
Our friends at the Staithe Smokehouse have shared this deliciously easy smoked haddock rarebit recipe!
Now’s a good time to start making a list of Norfolk places you really want to visit when the world returns to normal. First up, and I can’t recommend this place enough, a traditional artisan fish smokehouse in Brancaster Staithe. Set at the back of one of our favourite coastal eat and sleep locations – The White Horse, you’ll be wowed by the spectacular views over the marshes to Scolt Head Island.
