This
van belongs to Batchelors fresh fish stall, which sells on the quay. It is used to deliver fish
to local businesses. On the top of the van you can see the rather
striking fish that they use to attract the attention of people who see
the van. The
fish has a message. 'Crab fishing from Mudeford Quay'. In addition
to selling fish this company also provides the fishing lines for crab
fishing on the quay. Lots of tourists visit the area and many people
like to take their children fishing for crabs, so this is a good sideline for the company. If you don't succeed with
your fishing there is
a cafe on the quay which sells delicious fresh crab sandwiches. A
'sideline' is a small business that exists alongside the main business
of the company or individual. 'Striking'.
I have used the word here to mean 'unusual' or 'noticeable'. 'It
couldn't be fresher if you caught it yourself' ' Sounds delicious. 'Suppliers
to the catering trade of fresh, frozen and shellfish.' Do
you know what shellfish are? Examples of shellfish are lobsters, crabs
and prawns. The catering trade are people who prepare and sell food and
drink to the public. This includes restaurants and cafes but also people
who prepare food for weddings and other events.
