J Sheekey Fish : Preface Publishing : 9781848093805 : 1848093802 : 18 Oct 2012 : In the heart of London's Covent Garden, J Sheekey has been offering the finest fish, oysters, shellfish, and other fruits de mer since the 1890s. Josef Sheekey was a market stall holder given permission by Lord Salisbury to serve fish and seafood in his 1896 property development in St Martin's Court, on the proviso that he supply meals to Salisbury's after-theater dinner parties. Over a century later, the restaurant retains its late-Victorian charm and buzzes with fashionable folk and famous faces. The menu takes in prime fish such as Dover and lemon sole, brill and salmon, with seasonal specials such as Esk sea trout with lovage and girolles, roast lobster with sweetbreads, and salt baked bass. Old favorites include lobster thermidor and Sheekey's famous fish pie. J Sheekey Fish immortalizes recipes from this renowned kitchen.
