Just back from a fun dining experience at the Fingers and Thumbs Pop-Up Shellfish Restaurant near Cambridge Heath Station. £40 got a bucket for two filled with Canadian lobster as well as a lot of mussels, clams, razor clams, prawns, crayfish, potatoes and more all in a saffron mariniere served alongside some pretty decent bread, clarified butter and lemon rouille.
Other bucket o’ options included Cornish brown crab claws (£32) and tiger prawns (£36). I had a taste of the crab, and it was awesome. Oysters were £2 each or six for £10. Home made banana ice cream was £2 a scoop.
The pop-up continues tomorrow and Saturday. I had a great time as did Kemey and the rest of our dining companions (big up The Sheep and the Goats blog and The Londoneer). Something about the low key setting provided just the right kind of ambiance for friendly conversation. I reckon it was an ideal Thursday night out actually.
I highly recommend this no fuss get-your-fingers-dirty feast to anyone who likes fresh seafood. BYOB.
Fingers and Thumbs Pop-Up Shellfish Restaurant is located at railway arch 289, Cambridge Heath Road, E2 9HA. For details and to book visit the Fingers and Thumbs Facebook page or follow them on Twitter: @fingandthumbs.
