The guide said: "To sample Britain's traditional seafood culture today, you have to sail to the edge of East Anglia, where small inshore boats still bring home the best of the North Sea on a cottage-industry scale.

"You will find that fabulous seafood is a constant refrain as you drift from dainty fishing village to rolling, dune-baked beach - you will even find it for sale in the inland waterways of the Norfolk Broads."

The Norfolk locations featured are Davies Fish Shop in Cromer, Wells Crab House, Gurney's Fish Shop in Burnham Market and The Mussell Pod and The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe.
