Pride in our Native Lobsters

Our main supply comes from Andrew in Newlyn, whose pot-caught lobsters are a real favourite with our customers. We buy every single lobster he lands, though he never catches quite enough to keep up with demand!

During the busy summer months and at Christmas, we’re lucky to be supported by Ben and his team in Dorset, who supply us with additional lobsters landed along the south coast. We also have the womderful girls in St Ives, who have direct links with fishermen and their lobsters are consistently excellent.

Every lobster we sell is caught in UK waters, handled with care, and brought to us in peak condition - available live, freshly cooked, thermidored or smothered in garlic

And for every lobster sold, we proudly make a donation to the National Lobster Hatchery to help support their vital conservation work, ensuring future generations of these beautiful creatures thrive around our shores.

Always British. Always beautiful. Always lobster worth celebrating

Portland Crab

Our superb Dorset crab comes up overnight from Portland Shellfish, where Ben, Tim and the team buy directly from local fishing boats, then cook and handpick the crab in their modern unit on the harbour.

We only buy large male crabs, between 1–2.5kg, which arrive with us live and are cooked fresh daily. We also stock Portland’s unpasteurised crab meat - sweet, rich and utterly delicious.

Crab is incredibly popular, so it’s always best to pre-order to avoid disappointment.

Oysters

We usually have at least two varieties of oysters available often featuring our firm favourites, each with its own story, flavour and personality.

Porthilly Oysters – Rock, Cornwall
Grown by Tim on the Camel Estuary, just across the water from Padstow, these oysters are deep, plump and beautifully creamy with a hint of sweetness from the estuary’s tidal mix of sea and river water.

Cape Wrath Oysters – Northern Scotland
Farmed by Patrick and Lucy, these are the most northerly oysters on the UK mainland — miles from anywhere, grown in pristine waters where the cold, clean tides create a firm, briny oyster with real depth of flavour.

Both are exceptional in their own way, and we often suggest trying an oyster flight to discover your favourite. True oyster lovers say they can tell the difference blindfolded! Every oyster reflects the water it’s grown in, and 'oystelliers' (yes, they exist!) describe them much like fine wines, each with its own regional notes.

We’re also known to bring in the occasional guest oyster for something a little different, but Porthilly and Cape Wrath are the stars of the show and almost always on our counter.

If you’re planning to eat them within a couple of hours, we’re happy to pop the hinges for you so they’re ready to enjoy as soon as you get home.

Different waters, different flavours - but always exceptional.

Mussels

Our mussels come from Tim’s beds on the Camel Estuary at Rock, Cornwall, the very same pristine waters that give us our Porthilly Oysters. Bed-grown in the steady tides of the estuary, they’re wonderfully robust, hardy and packed with flavour.

We always say you can taste the life they’ve had - clean, salty and full of energy. Each shell holds a plump, juicy mussel with that perfect balance of sweetness and sea.

Mussels are at their absolute best when there’s an 'R' in the month, so from September through to April is prime time. They’re best eaten on the day you buy them, though they’ll happily keep overnight in the fridge during the colder months.

If you’re planning a classic moules marinière, don’t forget to grab a handful of our complimentary fresh parsley before you go; it’s the perfect finishing touch.

Cornish tides, clean waters, and the unmistakable taste of the sea - that’s what makes these mussels so special.

Clams (Palourdes)

Our Palourdes (Tapes philippinarum), also known as Manila or carpet shell clams, are a true seafood favourite - plump, sweet and absolutely perfect for pasta.

We source ours from Ben and his team in Dorset, who send them up to us alongside their superb crabs. Grown in clean, sandy beds along the south coast, these clams have a wonderfully pure, fresh flavour that really sings in a spaghetti vongole or simply steamed with garlic, white wine and a touch of chilli.

Like all bivalves, they’re best enjoyed as fresh as possible, ideally the same day you buy them, though they’ll keep happily overnight in the fridge if needed.

Simple, elegant and unmistakably coastal - the taste of the tide in every shell.

Langoustine

Also known as Norway Lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), the Langoustine is one of the true stars of the UK fishing industry and the only species that can legally be called scampi.

Caught off the west coast of Scotland, these beautiful shellfish are incredibly important to the Scottish fleet and are one of the country’s most valuable catches. They’re exported all over Europe, where they’re prized for their delicate, sweet flavour and pearly pink meat.

The very best Langoustine are fragile and highly perishable, which makes getting them live a bit of an art form. Weather, tides and transport all play a role, so when we do have them, it’s a real treat. We’ll always shout about it when they arrive because they truly are something special.

When the weather makes live landings tricky, we also source frozen-at-sea Langoustine, which are caught and blast-frozen on the boat within hours of being landed, preserving that perfect texture and flavour.

Whether you enjoy them simply grilled with butter, or served up as classic scampi, you’ll be eating one of the UK’s finest shellfish.

Delicate, elegant, and distinctly Scottish - the real deal behind “proper scampi.”

And last but not least... Prawns!

Prawns are one of the most loved and versatile seafoods we sell and they hold a very special place on our counter. Whether you’re planning a simple supper or firing up the barbecue, there’s a prawn for every plate.

We stock a wide range to suit every taste and recipe - from large warm-water kings to smaller, sweet cold-water prawns, available raw or cooked, peeled or whole.

Our Raw Peeled King Prawns are easily one of our most popular products, juicy, plump and perfect for kebabs, stir-fries, curries or pasta. We offer them plain, or marinated in our Garlic & Herb or Piri Piri blends for quick, fuss-free cooking.

For something more dramatic, our Ecuadorian King Prawns (around 25 per kilo) are a customer favourite, they're sweet, succulent and ideal for pan-frying or grilling. And if you’re really looking to impress, go for our #Badboy Tiger Prawns. With around eight to the kilo, they’re true showstoppers - bold, meaty and guaranteed to turn heads. We’re happy to split, de-vein and marinate them for you, so all you need to do is pop them on the grill.

We also keep cold-water prawns from the North Atlantic, smaller but packed with pure, clean flavour - great in salads, sandwiches or a classic prawn cocktail.

Because prawns are such a delicate, high-value product, they’re always frozen at source to lock in freshness. We defrost throughout the day for our counter, but you can also buy them frozen if you’d prefer to stock up at home.

From ultra delicious marinated kings to sweet cold-water classics - prawns are a firm favourite, and we love them for it.
