Since Jaster was coming here for the weekend, I thought we can have a day trip, so off we go seafood hunting.
My colleague had recommended me a place in Essex for great oysters so a search on the internet and I found The Company Shed. Great review and you got to bring your own drinks, bread and butter......hmmm...
Long way for Sam to drive us there and with me as the navigator, there's always a chance that we're lost!! Nevertheless, we eventually reach Mersea Island after crossing the Strood. The Strood can flood at high tide, you need to check the tide time before setting off.
It's low tide when we crossed, so was ok. You can see here that it floods. So inconvenient, if it floods, you got to wait for a few hours for the water level to drop. No other mode of transport available.
Finally found the place but there was a queue so need to wait. No advance booking for this place too!! See the big dog next to Jaster, thank God, Jaster offer to switch places with me.....
Can't wait to eat, really hungry.....
Seafood platter for 2!!! Yummy, tuck in!!! A pity that the seafood platter was serve as a cold dish... nevertheless, we finish it all and the seafood were absolutely fresh and juicy!!
Cannot go without hot food, so we order the grilled prawns with sea salt. We love it soo much, this was our 3rd plate.
Scallops with bacons and beds of leaves. Never thought the scallops tasted soo good with bacon. Ordered 2 plates!! Forgot to take pictures of the Oysters we ordered, hopefully Jaster will had took some pictures of it.
Of course, we walked back to our car feeling very satisfied. Think I ate too much, only had some bread in the evening as dinner and this trip had put me off seafood for a while... too much seafood (I guess).

People in UK don't seems to fancy seafood as much as Singaporean and the seafood sold in supermarket are limited.
