St Andrew Square has joined the street food party once again. Having turned all festive with Heilan Coo, Laughing Stock and Tony Singh, last Xmas, this year we welcome Bar Napoli, Henderson’s, Nusou and many others to the Festival party.

My first stop was with Love Fish, a stall showcasing seafood treats. My eye was caught by a mention of seafood chowder in a bread bowl (£5).

Having spent some time helping Union of Genius with their trialling of bread bowls, both for soup and for curry with their Festival bunny chow, I was keen to try another variety.

This one, from a little bakery in south Glasgow, had a very stylish little tourie on its bonnet. It was generously filled with hearty looking soup by the friendly and chatty counter man. I was soon on my way with item in hand.

Tasty!

I found a perch and tucked in, attracting many approving glances from those passing by, a number of whom were keen to find out where they could partake of this intriguing delight. I was happy to point them in the right direction.

The soup proved of very good quality with a range of chunky fish pieces and the odd prawns in evidence. The bread bowl retained its integrity very well and was nicely soaked with soup once I spooned things to a conclusion, making the chomping of the bowl a highly enjoyable and rewarding activity.

So overall, I was impressed with Love Fish and look forward to popping back to try some of their other dishes. Definitely add it to your list of places for a visit, this August.
