Whenever 'Fa' delights Gioia at the front door with a smoky hello he is greeted with a scramble for the gate keys and a truly warm ''come in, come in''. He reciprocates by taking us out for a light meal at the local Ocean Basket where we snack on a dish called whitebait. A petite pan arrives filled to the gills with a fry of fish, in other words mini fish (the size of her pet, Bubbles), the kind you catch in the tidal pools at Margate. These however have met a fate far worse than your lime green childhood fish net. They are deep fried and served with tzatziki, their expressions of wide eyed dismay still visable. This of course does not deter Gioia, she plods on through her meal like the trooper she is, and bites off their heads and chews on their tails, a star eater in my book, ah whitebait...you make for a cheeky meal.
