Boss_Hogg Posted 11 September, 2008 Share Posted 11 September, 2008 (edited) Right you lot its like this, I have recently been to Florida for a job interview and been offered the job subject to a successful visa application. Now, it has been going very well up to now but the boss of the firm I will be employed by is visiting Southampton on business next week and wants me and the Mrs to have dinner with him. He is a fan of good quality seafood and I promised him a decent slap up meal of his choice should he ever visit the UK. little did I know he would take me up on it! This is where you come in...... What is the best seafood restaurant in the Southampton area? Many thanks. Edited 11 September, 2008 by Boss_Hogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if it's like in Winchester, the ones that the pretentions w*nkers go to. £10 for a bowl of f*cking noodles. Give me a break... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit2 Posted 11 September, 2008 Share Posted 11 September, 2008 hate to say it but http://www.lemonsole.co.uk/lemonsole.html in old portsmouth http://www.merchantsbluemoon.co.uk/ have a good fish selection in ocean village Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummer Posted 12 September, 2008 Share Posted 12 September, 2008 hate to say it but http://www.lemonsole.co.uk/lemonsole.html in old portsmouth http://www.merchantsbluemoon.co.uk/ have a good fish selection in ocean village Lemon Sole is very good. They have a fish counter, you go up and choose which fish you want, how you want it cooked etc. You pay by the weight of what you ordered. Loch Fyne at Gunwharf is good as well, although it's a chain. They have their own loch in Scotland (Loch Fyne, funnily enough), where a lot of the seafood comes from.

Scudamore Posted 12 September, 2008 Share Posted 12 September, 2008 Not sure if you wanna trek to Bournemouth but West Beach is pretty damn good... AA Best Seafood Restaurant of the Year in England 2005/2006 And it's on the promenade just down from the pier...so if you get there in time for the sunset it's a cracking view as well...assuming it's not p:ssing it down... http://www.west-beach.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted 26 September, 2008 Author Share Posted 26 September, 2008 Did you find a decent restaurant and impress your future boss? We ended up taking him to La Vista at Hythe marina on the advice of a friend. It was great, a good selection of fish on the specials board and he was happy with it so all went well.

Boss_Hogg Posted 26 September, 2008 Author Share Posted 26 September, 2008 So, when do you hope to move and what part of Florida? Hopefully early next year all being well. There is a fella doing the job at the moment who is keeping things ticking over until I am able to take up the reigns. The job is in West Palm, to be honest we cant wait!

Junction 9 Posted 26 September, 2008 Share Posted 26 September, 2008 Loch Fyne Winchester would have to be the choice. Good seafood + the Yanks love looking around old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
