Seafood maestro Nathan Outlaw joins The Go-To Food Podcast for a candid conversation that charts his rise from washing dishes alongside his chef father in Maidstone to becoming the only British chef with two Michelin-starred seafood restaurants. Along the way, he recalls formative stints with culinary icons Gary Rhodes, Éric Chavot and Rick Stein—where he learned the art of speed, precision, and never sending a sauce in batches.Nathan shares the behind-the-scenes tales that shaped his cooking: a wild TV adventure across Europe with Valentine Warner that inspired Fish Kitchen; the madness of breaking down 200kg tuna like a side of beef (“320 plates from one fish”); and why he actually loved cooking breakfast for guests at his Cornwall guesthouse. He opens up on the decision to step away from two Michelin stars after COVID, choosing freedom and flavour over formality, and explains why his menus now change daily depending on what the boats bring in.This is Nathan Outlaw as you’ve never heard him before: talking honestly about the challenges of luring diners to Cornwall in winter, the sheer joy of a perfectly made crab sandwich, and why most home cooks are terrified of fish. From his Cornish hit list of must-visit restaurants to his nostalgic go-to meal (toad in the hole followed by trifle—“the best kept secret breakfast”), it’s a rollicking, generous episode with one of Britain’s most influential seafood chefs.----------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.
