Fish For Thought

 Whilst it seems pretty comprehensive you have to buy quite a lot of fish to make it worthwhile and to justify the delivery charge. However I can see the convenience of it if you have nowhere locally. Our Waitrose has a pretty good selection of fish and on Friday there is always a 20% discount, the trouble is we always shop on Thursday!!! Had some nice smoked haddock yesterday or what we used to call yellow fish when we were kids!!!

Thanks Catherinef. I love fish but it has to be super fresh. I do find the supermarkets, in general, very poor and it makes me laugh when you see Tesco's, for example, getting an award for being "Best...."

Not a patch on those supermarkets in France which, by and large, tend to be very well stocked and also knowledgeable.

Will look into the website you've mentioned when we return from our autumn trip away.

Thanks C useful information, but I tend to agree with DK, very comprehensive but somewhat pricey. We are fortunate in that we have a Waitrose within 16 miles, which I rate on quality and freshness, if not the ability of the staff to clean / scale etc. 👎 Also, even better, we have a traveling fishman 🐟 🦀 who visits once a week straight from Grimsby. Having picked the fish up at some ridiculous hour. No pre orders required, except for Christmas, and exceptionally fresh. He has nowhere near the range of this company, so will file away the info for future reference. However, his prices are about half on the products he sells, which are the old favourites, plus a few that change each week. He has been coming for about 6 years now and seems to have a firm customer base, so fingers crossed he will continue for many years to come.😀

No fishmonger convenient here. One thing that I have not been able to buy therefore is salmon steaks. All damned fillets

Sounds good Catherine, fresh from Cornwall too, nice choices. 

Just back from the mountain lakes.Kept one wild brown trout of about 1.25lb. Nothing fresher or more organic for my lunch tomorrow.

I've just been to Cornwall for 5 weeks and as I love fish, this is what I've eaten most days!

I was lucky enough to be close to a great supplier in Mullion, Kelynack Fish who mainly supply to the trade but have a good selection of super-fresh fish available each day. Really good prices too!

When I'm home, good fish Isn't so easy to come by. Supermarkets, even Waitrose are a no no for me as the quality is so poor. I have used a similar arrangement to the OP. Stevensons of Newlyn supply fish boxes and the range and quality is amazing, all locally caught and landed. Order before 4pm for next day delivery, packed in ice. Each variety is individually packed so ready for freezing. www.stevensonsofnewlyn.co.uk 

Also Harveys for shellfish in Newlyn, a lot of it goes to France, so when you're "over there"   you're probably eating Cornish sea food, they land in the french ports too. Also lots of Scottish fish go to France.

EasyT, if you want salmon steaks you could buy a whole salmon and cut the steaks yourself, freeze what you don't need.

OH saw a salmon swimming into West Bay harbour near Bridport this week, heading for the river where there is a salmon "gate." If you stand on the area between the harbour and the river you'll see shoals of grey mullet as well.

Who would want to eat Farmed Salmon.  Fed on pelleted offal, medicated to heaven to reduce lice and other intensive farmed products. Uch.

Not suggesting anyone buys farmed salmon or other farmed fish like "sea" bass. I like fish from our cold waters, never buy fish from elsewhere.
