3rd Pistonheads cooking competition ingredients

Righto.
(1) Fish -(not shellfish -although could be used as long as 'fish' is principle lump of thing on plate). Trout/Salmon/Eel fine too. Smoked/unsmoked, whatever.
(2) Eggs. Or egg.
Hope this isn't too broad. But if I nominate just one type of fish it could deter some from entering. Eggs seem to narrow options intially but actually there's all sorts of things that could be done when you think about it.
Remember, the oven is hot hot hot!

I work right next to Billingsgate so in theory I should have a headstart here. However I have never been in because I am worried I would slip over and come into work smelling of haddock. Has anyone been?
Good choice in ingredients, I am definitely in.
Is this for a week Monday ? I'm on holiday in Barcelona over this weekend, might come back with a octopus in my holdall Should prove popular on he plane....

Andy

You are aware if you want to utilise that place you need to go at 5:30am?I work in Citi building and there is no tube/DLR running at that time in the morning to get me there early enough

I have been meaning to do the early morning trip for years just to pick up loads of fish (mainly huge prawns if there) but have yet to find a way of getting there so early and apparantley this reason alone is not an excuse to buy an old skool 968/964 or 928 according to the OH... sometimes I think she is a mean bh... denying me seafood and nice cars

Actually, I think I am going to do an early trip to the market on 31st October.
5:30am.
Anyone care to join me?
how you getting there and where from, I may just join you... 5:30am.
Anyone care to join me?
will take the doley with me.... aka a bleary eyed missus so she can go home with the spoils and I dont need to leave them at work.

By car from Canada Water. Where are you based?
BTW, this is in NO WAY set in stone. but I have a CDWM that lunchtime so thought some nice fish might be handy.
Im based in Clapham... hence the issues getting there....BTW, this is in NO WAY set in stone. but I have a CDWM that lunchtime so thought some nice fish might be handy.
Will have a look at how to get there or to CW for that time... I have a few days to sort it as long as it doesnt involve taxis from clapham as the money saved on the fresh fish is Null and void...

Brilliant. Although I will probably struggle as am out all weekend then doing a gastronomic tour of Germany next weekend (including Nurburgring and the Porsche museum)...
One of the highlights of any visit to Germany for me is spending a good hour or so over a full continental breakfast, fish, meats, pate, cheese, many, many breads, jams and eggs. It's bloody brilliant, tops a full english IMO Dupont666 said:

OK, I might be up for this, supposed to be racing on the Sunday which would mean it'll be a dry weekend, so getting up early on Sat wouldn't be a problem. I'm Surbiton, so potentially could collect you in Clapham and we'd get to Billingsgate in no time at that time of night.Will have a look at how to get there or to CW for that time...

Let me have a think.
