Hello to the wonderful Zhous: Daily Fresh seafood & all the ingredients to cook up a Chinese feast
I popped in to the South & North Chinese Food store on Whymark Avenue just north of Turnpike Lane tube not long after it opened 4 or 5 months ago. Every time I've been since I've been impressed at the freshness of the seafood and the great range of chinese food they stock.
It's run by the Zhou family from Fujian. Mr Zhou, Yuan, goes down to Billingsgate market every morning and so stocks wrigglingly fresh razor clams, impressively squirming crabs and a nice looking selection of seafood beyond those show stoppers, as you can see in this 40 second video:

In general the store is clean and fresh

This fledgling business deserves our support, so do pop along. They're open 9.30.10.00 till 21.30 every day of the week. (Tel: 020 8888 6257 but see next para before you call). Oh, a final tip from me - Mrs Zhou very kindly gave us each a cold bottle of Aloe Vera King - a Taiwanese drink and probably about the most refreshing drink I've had in a long while.
The Zhous are still pretty new to the UK and whilst you'll get a warm welcome, they're still learning English so don't expect chapter and verse from them on their products. (I went along armed with a Mandarin speaker so I could write up this piece).

By way of an open response to an email from 'Steve', no this isn't advertorial content. I just like the shop. it needs our business and it deserves to survive.
