Oysters a la Boston

This is a straightforward and accessible way of bringing a degree of sophistication and luxury to your dining table, the oysters, gruyere and butter combining to gorgeously silky effect, offset by the crunch of fried breadcrumbs. Variations you might wish to try include swapping the gruyere for parmesan or adding a dot of double cream.

Always FRESH, Never Frozen

Unlike some of our competitors, when you buy fresh fish from us you can be sure it’s exactly that – always FRESH, never frozen. 

Many of the fish we sell are the result of bravery, hard work and years of experience.

The journey begins with the crews of fishing boats, who work long hours in often hazardous conditions to bring back their catch.

When they return to shore the catch is then sold at the market and transported to our premises, where the fish are prepared, vacuum-sealed, packaged and delivered to your door within 24 hours.

It’s a philosophy we’re immensely proud of, one that reflects our commitment to our products and our dedication to serving our customers.

Always FRESH, never frozen.
