We land our own catch out of Leigh-on-Sea, King's Lynn, Grimsby, Southwold and other ports, then top up with day-boat fish from markets we trust, Brixham among them. One family, one boat crew, one short journey from the water to your kitchen.

Catch alerts

Know the morning a local boat lands

One text when there's a fresh catch near you, with a link straight to the board. First to tap is first to order.

We use your postcode to text you about catches we can actually get to you. No more than a few messages a week.

Trade and restaurant customers go on the priority list and get the board first thing, before it goes public. Talk to us about wholesale

Three steps

We own the catch

Our own boat works out of Leigh, King's Lynn, Grimsby and Southwold, so most of what we sell we landed ourselves.

20 years of buying expertise

When we top up, it's from day-boat markets we know by name, Brixham among them, bought with the same eye a top restaurant buyer uses, not off a wholesale sheet.

No frozen filler

Nothing is bulked out with frozen stock. If it is not fresh that day, it does not go on the list.
