Battered Samphire at Lucy’s Chips, Norwich

 

This summer’s seasonal treat at Lucy’s is battered samphire.

Some posh chippy restaurants have samphire on the menu, usually steamed and tossed in butter. This was the first time I had tried this east coast, marshland succulent in batter.

It works well. If you enjoy eating scraps then you’ll enjoy this.

The samphire at Lucy's comes in a very big portion for £5 so is best for sharing. I had mine with a haddock and didn’t order chips as I knew I wouldn’t be able to manage so much fried food.

It’s a seasonal special. So grab it while you can!
