comments welcome :)
 
Sounds really nice and looks good too, but to be perfectly honest, the four blobs on the edge of the plate don't look great - I'd personally lose them and put a medium sized blob at the bottom of the vertical bit of fish :) (imvho of course :))

had thought of that, the salsa verde is very strong though so left it seperate, wasn't happy with the presentation myself though
 
Looks quite nice!

I think dollops of stuff around the plate rim is a bit of a no-no however and the starter looks a bit... substantial (and this is coming from a pig!) :D

I quite fancy your pears however (ohh err missus)
