What happens when a clever little green country, without circular gridlock motorways adopts a marketing strategy to change the adjacency of the letter 'M' from the front of 25 and then pops it back at the end ?
This 3rd blog in the mini series of 'Welsh Favourite Places To Eat' features photographs of the amazing people and places we found within the 25 Mile peninsula. It ends with our arrival at the 25 Mile Local Eating House in Cardigan.
The 25 Mile Local Eating House adopts a simple and intuitive strategy of only serving food that is grown within a twenty-five mile radius of their kitchen. Resulting in local-fresh-quality-ingredients. So simple and so good. Their desire for roasting coffee from good beans being the one understandable geographic exception.
This visit presented my first experience to taste potted Sewin, the Welsh Sea Trout, complete with they're amazing taste and brand story. These very shy fish are only catchable at 4.00am in the morning and have an almost mythical status in their storytelling. Starting their lives as brown river trout, they head out into the wild open oceans of the sea to become Sewin. The full life cycle of these fishy Welsh creatures is still not known by scientists, other than observing they only return to local freshwater rivers when they spawn.
As with all of nature, their existence is rare and threatened and fortunately Sewin are being carefully monitored by those who care about their preservation.
If you are heading to Mwnt for your hols, pop into the 25Mile in Cardigan and head home to preach the gospel and recount the potted history of the potted Sewin.
