[Closed] Seafood yum PSA

Wfh has brought to my attention the fish van that drops past on a friday afternoon, straight down from Pittenweem, half the price of the fancy fishmongers in town, it's brilliant!.

Thanks TJ - that looks great. I'll be ordering.

these guys are delivering seafood to your door ( In scotland) at something like wholesale prices

It's great that we are all finding new suppliers, I know I've found a few new ones, but I'm not sure that they are wholesale prices, £20 for a single lobster!!! Unless it's massive that's not what I would call cheap.

Its not as cheap as some but its not bad at all IMO. Maybe I am used to Edinburgh tax!

TJ - You may already know but Welch are still open down at Newhaven

Any other ideas on wholesale suppliers going retail right now?

I use Premier Seafoods for fresh/frozen fish and Alfred Enderby for smoked fish, both based in Grimsby and owned by really passionate people.

I've even been known to drive from Staffordshire just to buy their fish but they offer a mail order service.

Yummy in my tummy. Scallops with crispy bacon followed by lobster with salad and garlic bread.

Cheers. Large box of crustaceany bivalvey delights ordered. Looking forward to it...

Morrisons seem to be bashing out restaurant seafood at the moment.

Got a whole monkfish tail in no frills packing for £11.50/kg which is insanely cheap, near on giving it away. Tasted really good and fresh too.

Scallop dredging is thought to have the most severe ecological effect of all UK marine fisheries because the damage and mortality it causes the seabed habitat and species that live there.

Enjoy your scallops...

Hand / dived ( I think) I will check. Most of this small scale catch is hand dived

Enjoy your scallops…

Will go well with the pan seared foie gras starter...

Does anyone happen to know if swordfish is being sold or viable as last tine I checked it was listed as highly endangered

Shame as I can do great things with Swordfish steak and melted Leerdammer & asparagus's

Sweet Spanish onion gently caramelised
Mmmmmmmmm mmmm

At those prices I would be surprised if the scallops were hand-dived; dredging for them is massively damaging to the marine environment.
Much as I love scallops I always ask about provenance - if response is either of....dredged or don't know I don't buy; that applies to fresh or in restaurant.
As for swordfish, I believe it's off the endangered list; keep it simple - fry hot and quickly...3 mins each side at most.

👌exactly my man!👍

Hoping it's off endangered list as is superb as a treat every year or so

Yesyes savoured cough i mean devoured cough 🤣

They are dredged scallops. I didn't think they were. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh well
Its so long since I had any scallops that were not dived that I simply forgot to check. ~Thanks

SEAFOOD Y'AAAAAAAAALL?!?

🙂

Quality selfie proving a point that peperami is not to good for people who eat that crap

Seafood will always outdo any junk

Post re-trawl (ahem) - off a wee pedal to Troon shortly, as the local boats are getting not very much per box at market, one has started selling at a stall straight off the boat, tenner a kilo of langoustines, get in ma belly. 🙂

I attended the wee hurrie for fritto misto last week. 70 mile found trip on the good bike v much worth it.😋

Nobeer - oh yes; they look great - and fresh off the boat!

They look amazing matey, enjoy.

We always say that there's not the demand here, that's why these usually bugger off to the continent. I wonder if that's cos we don't really sell them locally? Fella said he sold out of his 150kg of scallops in 30 mins, kilo bags of langys flying off the stall, probably 50 folk in queue when I left....

Get the chip pan on.

Do you think they’ll deliver as far as Brighton?

While we’re on the subject of seafood have any of you ever eaten “Hoi Lai”? It’s a Thai shellfish dish - a type of clam I think - and it’s just about the tastiest thing I’ve ever eaten.
