This man rocks my world…read more I've quite inadvertently started setting him challenges which have included: "Mark, I want a hare." "Mark, I want a box full of angry crayfish" "Mark, I want something for dinner but I don't know what. Be a good chap and get me something tasty?" "Mark, I want foie gras. Not cheap sh*tty stuff in a jar, I want big hunks of liver." "Mark, I'm redecorating my flat and want some wine boxes because I'm a little bit boho and I can't afford shelves at the moment because I spend all my money on foie gras." He must hate me by now, but he always delivers (quite literally...) Plus the girls in the office all fancy him.

I live pretty near Billingsgate. Have done for about 8 years. I've been once. I went for an article I was writing and had a great time (met a fisherman who hated fish - go figure), but once was enough for me. I do not do well with 6am starts. And the last thing I feel like pre-coffee is buying seafood. But I like cooking. I like making tasty things. I like having fresh food that didn't cost the earth in the supermarket (although my local fishmonger is also awesome). I basically want all the good stuff, delivered to my door. Marky Market does that. Not just to your door, but to your office too. I live so close to Billingsgate that I'd have had a very early wake-up call (Mark starts his day at 2:30 am - I'm not even asleep by then a lot of the time). So Qype laughed at me when I got half a kilo of samphire delivered to their office. I made tasty salads with crayfish for a party, everyone was impressed. Even shared some in the pub with some other Qypers. They were happy too. I'll use Marky Market for any special occasion. If you don't like early starts and you like tasty food, you should too.

I grew up in Seattle, the city that brings you this little bite of digestible culture:…read morehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72QTABuE0O4&feature=related (Time allocated for those who skipped watching the video to go back and watch the frigggggin' video. Do it.) Aaaaand the plot thins when I insert the fact that I didn't eat fish until I was 20 years old. I thought it was vile. When I was 20 I went on a study abroad program called Semester at Sea, and as you can imagine... seafood was on the daily menu for six months. After one month of eating the only non-fish alternative (peanut butter and jelly), I gave in. And I still haven't forgiven myself for wasting a full month not eating the most amazing, fresh, delicious fish I've ever had. The reason it was so fantastic was that it was sourced directly from local fishers at each port we called at, so mahi-mahi in Cuba, piranha in Brazil, skate in Cape Town... all the way around to king salmon in Alaska. My fish from Chelsea Fishmonger brought me right back to my earlier experience. So fresh, so local, so delicious. And most importantly, so ethical. I spoke with an employee for about 20 minutes about their fishing practices which involve, among other responsible things, only stocking fish caught by softer inshore non-destructive fishing methods. Now I'm not just upset about the one month I didn't eat fish on the ship, I'm upset about the 20 years I didn't know places like Chelsea Fishmonger existed!

You can have an account with them or just buy as you need, and they have a great variety. Living in Chelsea you can imagine nothing is super cheap, but for those who can afford to splash out, try the plaice or sole, or get a nice piece of fresh salmon.

I'm so glad I picked this oyster stand out of all the others! Richard Haward's Oysters is a must!!…read moreI walked up and it wasnt too busy since it was about 11 am on a Tuesday! The were patient and took their time explaining to me the difference between their oysters and where they came. I had their Jersey and Mersea Oysters and they also let me try a Native Oyster on the house! I grabbed some lemons and their house made sauce on the side. They paired so well with the Oysters ans the Oysters were naturally salted, so they were so well balanced with the toppings! Amazing! Some of the best I've ever had, and I enjoyed them with a glass of Prosecco. Just such a great experience!

If you are lucky enough living in Fulham, you still might have missed the local fish shop which is…read moreon Fulham road towards Putney Bridge. It's one of those shops locals should support, because it is authentic and of high standard. An Italian Family is running the business. When I order cod, tuna or calamari, I always ask for advice how to cook it the best, not loosing any juice or flavour. My secret recipe: Code fish in the oven for not more then 20min wrapped in aluminium foil... Ingredients: * White wine * Spring onions * Garlic * Pepper * Bouillon * Lemon * Herbs * Butter The Italian fish shop owner always asks me for how many people? - My answer is dinner for on - he smiles. Sometimes I try the fish cakes, they have some fresh vegetables and herbs, which you can use for your ingredients - never leave the shop without a lemon. Also the prawns over a salad as starter or the spaghetti à la vongele could be a treat for your guests!

But why would American Express list a shop, unless of course they are signed up with American Express to accept Amex card payments? And several years running?
