Doesn't anyone buy their fish from a fishmonger?

I get my fish direct from the local fish houses. Can't get any fresher than that.

with a name like Torry quine i would hope so!

try your local fishmonger - quite often they will sell by the box at a much reduced price, if you dont want a full box go halfies with a friend.

I buy from the local fishmonger in 7lb blast frozen boxes, normally costs £5.95 per pound for haddock (both white and smoked) when buying in single pounds, but buying it in the boxes I get the 7lb for £25, so working out at more than £2.5o cheaper. There are usually about 23-28 fillets in the box. with it being blast frozen you just have to take out the single slices you need.

Dabs are a very cheap alternative to lemon sole.

I remember when every High Street has a fishmongers, but that isn't the case anymore. I moved from one seaside town (with a great fishmongers) a year ago to another seaside town further up the coast. Where I live now, despite being a seaside town, I have yet to discover a fishmongers in the High Street.

We don't have a fishmongers although there are several fish stalls in the market - I don't buy from them though because there is always a really fishy smell around the stalls and I was told that fish isn't fresh if it smells fishy. I also find that the fish counter in Tescos stinks too. I sometimes buy M& S fish when on the 3 for £10 offer.

We go to the fishmongers and get 3 large bits (does 6 meals) for about £6 frozen for fresh its about £8.

I want to keep our local independent shops around, therefore our local fishmonger is the only place I buy fish from.

The cheapest filleted white fish that ours have at the moment is coley; can't remember how much it is, but think it's somewhere around £7.50 a kilogramme.

We buy *all* of our fish from a fishmonger, meat from a butcher, and most of our fruit and veg from greengrocers and/or markets.

Why do you ask?
