Now it isn't quite in the Goring Gap l grant you, but walking from the Sea Lanes Cafe in an easterly direction towards Worthing, within about ten minutes you come across a shack on the beach, from where a local fisherman sells his catch, (his boat can be found on the beach next to it).

The guy sells the most amazingly fresh fish, much of it caught himself the previous night. The past few times l have been down hoping to make my usual purchase, although his boat is there, the shack has been boarded up. I'm wondering if Covid has prevented him from fishing, does anyone else know him, or have any ideas?

Cue all the fish puns.

Perhaps eventually someone might have a go at answering the original question. Doubt it though.

Ummm l'm not aware of any others, his is the first one you come to walking east from the Sea Lanes. I don't think everything that he sells is freshly landed, but the great majority is.

Maybe l just visited on a day when he hadn't been out, l'll try again soon.

Probably smoking them at the same time he's dressing and freezing his 'fresh' crab...................:)

Did you see a sign on the door, “Gone Fishing”

I'd have a long hard look at the list of fish he has for sale, most of it is not local. The boats and nets by the locker are hardly ever used but the piles of stackable fish boxes are, when his fish is collected from the fish market.

Good to see when the opportunity arises NSC refuses to roe back from the chance to make some fish puns

The dirty rotten scoundrel! To be honest though l don't much care who catches some of it, what l buy certainly seems fresh enough to me, and the missus and l enjoy it, which is the main thing.
