Restaurant review: This new street food spot in Cork's English Market is a must-try

The fish and chips included some of the finest chips I’ve had in a while

An early breakfast that will live forever in memory was consumed before 9am on a weekday in Barcelona’s already heaving Boqueria market: A paper cone of battered, fried whitebait, wolfed down, eyes, head, tail, and washed down with a bottle of chilled Cava.

Fair enough, that class of breakfast requires the ‘stamina’ of a youth long passed, but the unique pleasure of dining in a covered market remains.
