London & lobster
London's fish trade is older than almost any in Europe. Billingsgate, on the Thames between London Bridge and the Tower, has dealt in fish for over a thousand years and was made an official market by Edward III in 1327. By the 19th century it was the largest fish market in the world; its purpose-built hall opened in 1850 before the trade moved to Docklands in 1982 — and lobster has crossed its slabs for centuries.
🦞 Lobster lore
A lobster roll comes two ways: Maine-style (cold, with mayo) and Connecticut-style (warm, with drawn butter), the rivalry is genuine.
