Species native to this area include Lemon Sole, John Dory, Gurnard, Red Mullet, Plaice, Brill, Turbot, Whiting, Megrim Sole, Dover Sole, Monkfish, Mackerel, Herring, Sardines, Hake and many more. This is in addition to shellfish such as, scallops, crabs and lobsters. Boats include Emilia Jane, Girl Debra, Constant Friend, William of Ladram, and Barantszee.
Peterhead
Peterhead harbour’s 400 year history is synonymous with landings of the UK’s premier white fish. Situated in the North of Scotland, Peterhead offers us species not always available in the waters of Southern England. Landed daily, we buy species such as Cod, Coley, Pollock and Plaice.
Farmed fish often features on core menu lines due to its consistent quality, availability and price. To enable us to guarantee responsible sourcing, we buy and import directly from source, such as salmon from Scotland and Norway.
We only work with small, specialist operators for live shellfish. In summer months we buy lobsters and crabs from local fishermen and during the winter we import directly from North America. We have live shellfish holding tanks enabling us to guarantee ultimate freshness.
