#SoCs #Deep

Salford 4th April 2020
It’s hard to really appreciate the dish
without taking some time over it
the fish – had been swimming with others
free to explore – developing
evading all predators –
from the polar bear in the north
to the seals and penguins in the south
all to be caught by a net
trawled to a port and
cooked up by a chef
battered within an inch of its old life
in oil so hot – it almost leapt onto the plate
and served by a waitress, Annette
while eaten by the regulars with chips and peas
its eaten by the gastronome
with lemon and tartar sauce……Flavour? DEEP!
