Good stuff. Come visit!!

One other thing about the north east, by the way, and this area are kippers. I think it’s.. mackerel? I dunno. Anyway, my grandmother is from this region and there’s a town called Craster just up the way on this coast that has the best kippers in the country. All this fish is from the North Sea and these catches are still landed in a lot of these harbours so it’s fresh, fresh, fresh.

So, when you go, you don’t only want fish and chips (usually Cod), you want to eat kippers, too. Traditionally across the U.K., kippers are had with breakfast, usually scrambled or poached egg. Up on this coast, though, you’re also supposed to have them just with buttered bread - usually brown bread. Same rule as a chip butty: fish must be warm and it slightly melts the butter. Very, very traditional on this coast. So, if you come here, you must see Northumberland (it’s also historically big Viking country), and you must have cod and chips, and a kipper butty :)
