We have fish at least three times per week. Fish is absolutely amazing with a wide choice. The guys who work there are also extremely kind and helpful. I’ve never been disappointed!

The best place to buy fish I have come across in London. The fish is very fresh and a lot of variety. I also love how they display the fish on ice with informative tags. Not the styrofoam boxes like other sellers! However the place wouldn’t be what it is without the guys that work there. All of them are well versed in what they do and are very friendly.
