🦞 Lobster season is in full swing! 🦞
This weekend, chef, author and seafood expert CJ Jackson is heading to Yorkshire to catch up with the fantastic team at Edwin Jenkinson. It's one of the busiest times of the year as Britain's native lobster season reaches its peak, with the boats and crews working flat out to land this incredible shellfish.
The seasonal demand is reflected at Billingsgate Market, where lobster prices are currently at their highest. As Head of the Seafood School at Billingsgate, CJ sees first-hand just how sought-after these beautiful native lobsters are. C&A Hart supply lobsters landed by the team at Edwin Jenkinson, bringing exceptional British seafood to customers.
To celebrate the season, CJ will be serving Lobster Pasta with Tarragon & Parmesan Butter, perfectly paired with a chilled glass of Prosecco. It's a simple, elegant dish that lets the sweet flavour of fresh British lobster shine.
We'll also be sharing the recipe from CJ's latest book, the Great British Seafood Revival, so you can recreate this delicious seasonal dish at home.
There's never been a better time to enjoy one of Britain's finest seafood treasures.

A welcome return for fans of classic adventure and natural history: Merlin Unwin Books' edition of Man-eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett is available once again.
This beautifully produced hardback is the only current edition to feature the iconic illustrations by Raymond Sheppard, making it a must-have for collectors and first-time readers alike.
Corbett's gripping first-hand accounts of tracking the notorious man-eating tigers and leopards of Kumaon remain among the finest works of wildlife writing on the subject. In addition, royalties from this edition support the tiger reserve established in Corbett's name in India.
If you've been waiting to add this classic to your shelves, now is the time. If you have already enjoyed Jim's writing, you might also like Undiscovered Corbett. Author Ian Douglas sheds new light on the life and lasting legacy of Corbett in his new book, Undiscovered Corbett - from his time working on Indian railways, his famous hunts and near misses, and work during WW1 training soldiers in jungle survival.
