AS FRESH AS THE SEA

The Suffolk coast is renowned for having some of the UK’s best fish and seafood producers, it’s really not surprising with its miles of beautiful coastline. This means whether you like to create your own seafood delicacies at home from the local market, or would rather eat out at a nearby restaurant, you are definitely spoilt for choice.

Living in and around the sea you’re likely to hear of the fisherman’s tales and folklore. One such story originates very close to Deben Meadows, the story of how ghosts of AngloSaxon soldiers highlighted the burial mound of the ship that is now known as Sutton Hoo. Keep your eyes peeled you never know if they’ll show you the next treasure trove.
