Wahoo is probably the best fish I’ve ever cooked:

on a barbecue, tandoori or jerk spiced.

I’ve learned on the job that organisation is key, from

how you stack a trolley while provisioning to how you

stow away your produce.

The fish market in Monte Argentario (Tuscany)has

some of the most incredible seafood I have ever seen.

The fruit and vegetable market in Cannes is top notch,

and there is a world-class butcher’s shop right next to it,

but I’m yet to find my favourite one-stop market.

CHEF’S CORNER

SIRENA SHOOTS

FOR THE STARS

From definitive designs to perilous construction

and the isolated lives of those who maintain

them, Sentinels of the Sea: A Miscellany of

Lighthouses Past sheds new light on these

lifesaving coastal landmarks. Author RG Grant

brings the history of lighthouses to life with

effortless storytelling verve, using National

Archive images, anecdotes from around Europe

and more than 400

detailed illustrations.

Modern technology

has rendered

lighthouses largely

redundant, but this

comprehensive volume

is a fitting tribute to

their romantic appeal.

full-beam

owner’s suite Where have I heard that name before?

Probably at a boat show – the Turkish yard’s 19m

and 21m models have been turning heads since

2016, but the in-build Sirena 85 will propel this

brand into the superyacht market in 2019.

What are they bringing to the party?

Big name designers and a bold layout –

Germán Frers’ exterior includes a plumb bow

for maximum volume, while Cor D Rover’s

interior boasts a full-beam owner’s suite

and fold-out balcony.

What’s that on the foredeck?
