I thought they'd go bust as the fish selection is so good I thought they'd not be able to keep the freshness - but have learned they supply most of the Sheikhs kitchens and this is a retail off shoot - the quality is great.
Markets & Platters are a retail offshoot from Fresh Express. Massive company, and they also supply a good portion of the 5 star hotels in the UAE and Qatar.

In true Scandinavian style I had 4 open-faced sandwiches (2 with cheese and 2 with turkey ham).

My Swedish flatmate used to eat cheap frozen pizzas topped with banana and curry sauce. Apparently this is some sort of Scandinavian delicacy?

That sounds disgusting to say the least. Although plenty of Norwegians also eat cheap frozen pizzas (Pizza Grandiosa is famous) they would normally top with Bernaise Sauce (if anything)...
