Fresh Fish

It’s an absolute joy to handle some of the most stunning fish on the planet — and every single day, our deliveries bring that same little rush of excitement. It’s like Christmas morning when the boxes arrive; we can’t wait to see what’s inside.

With the exception of our sashimi-grade Tuna and line-caught Swordfish, all of our fresh fish is exactly that - fresh. Predominantly wild-caught and landed in Newlyn, we buy only the best of the day’s catch, and that’s what we sell.

If a species isn’t on the counter, it’s because it simply hasn’t been landed - maybe it’s out of season, or the boats just didn’t find it that day. We’d rather go without than buy elsewhere, so you can always be sure that if it’s on our counter, it’s going to be utterly delicious.

Our fish is so fresh that if you’d like to keep it for more than a couple of days, you can safely pop it into your freezer  - though we’ll forgive you if you can’t wait that long.

Wild-caught favourites you’ll often see on our counter:

Hake, cod, haddock, halibut, pollack, whiting, monkfish, plaice, lemon sole, Dover sole, turbot, brill, sand sole, witch sole, megrim, dabs, skate (ray), and John Dory.
Depending on the season, also bass, mackerel, sardines, gurnard, red mullet, breams, grey mullet, dogfish (huss/rock), conger eel, sashimi-grade yellowfin tuna and squid.

Farmed Fish

Alongside our wild-caught species, we also source some exceptional farmed fish. Done well, fish farming can produce outstanding quality and we’re very selective about what we choose.

Our fresh salmon comes from WesterRoss, a small, high-standard Scottish producer, where the fish are harvested to order and sent down overnight. We fillet and pin-bone them here, ready for our counter.

When wild bass fishing was temporarily banned to allow the stocks to recover, we introduced our extra-large farmed bass as an alternative. Many customers have been pleasantly surprised and the flavour and texture of the larger, more mature fish is remarkably similar to wild Cornish bass.

Our large farmed bream are another customer favourite. We do see a few wild bream from Newlyn and they are becoming more available as different species are making their way into Cornish waters, but they’re not caught in huge numbers, so these farmed beauties are a welcome and reliable addition.

Whether it’s wild or farmed, we buy it the same way - carefully, selectively, and only when the quality is exceptional.
