Eels In Tooting Market . 1950’s
A Memory of Tooting.
I’ve just read a detailed account of a person who recounted a memory of a fish shop in Tooting market in the 1950’s. As well as fish the lady owner (who was missing front teeth) sold eels. Some customers preferred that she cut them in to pieces, so there would be lots of still moving squiggly eel bits moving around. My friend and I would stand there gawking until she chased us away. I returned in the early 2000’s on a memory trip only to find clothing and cloth strewn all over the place. Again, in 2021 to find boutique cafes and restaurants, which I must admit was better than it had been.
Bring back the eels I say !
