ART MEETS FISH AT FORMAN’S SMOKEHOUSE IN EAST LONDON
Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery (as in the Forman’s of smoked salmon fame) presents the “the FishWick Papers”, an exhibition of works by 50 members of the studio East London Printmakers, inspired by the liveliness and colour of Hackney Wick and from Fish Island and the Smokehouse itself. Formans Restaurant will be open during the show and we recommend combining a trip with a bite of such delights as the London Cure smoked salmon and the likes of pan-fried sole, herb crumb and charred lime-fennel salad. Exhibition is 2-4 Sep, at Forman & Field, Stour Rd, London E3 2NT. www.formans.co.uk
