Established and operated by the Wing family, for nearly 40 years they have been supplying top quality, sustainable fish and shellfish to many of the nation’s top chefs. Around 12 years ago they decided to expand into offering fresh fish to homes across the UK, within 24 hours of catch through their online delivery service.

“As you would expect, chefs can be very demanding and this means the standard of our fish and preparations must always be to an exceptional quality.” says Jack Wing, The Cornish Fishmonger.

“The advantage to our home delivery customers is that they are receiving the same restaurant-quality fish and seafood as some of the top Michelin-starred restaurants in Cornwall, London and beyond.”

The Cornish Fishmonger’s mission is simple; to deliver the highest quality fresh seafood that champions local fishermen and sustainable fishing practices. Every morning, their experienced buyers attend the main fish markets across Cornwall to select the best of that day’s catches.

They also enjoy a good relationship with local fishing families who operate small dayboats, buying fish, lobsters and crab directly from them on the quayside.

Jack continues: “We’re passionate about Cornwall, and in particular our fishing industry. It’s such an integral part of our county’s identity and continues to support local families – many of whom have fished here for generations.

“In my opinion, the clear waters of Cornwall offer some of the best seafood anywhere in the world. We offer our fish in a wide variety of preparations, making it as easy as possible for people to enjoy the best our coastline has to offer. We also offer help and inspiration through online videos from The Cornish Fishmonger’s kitchen studio, recipe ideas; plus we’re always available on the end of phone too.”

“We’re very-much a family-run company. We have a small and very skilled team, many of whom have been with us for years. We all take a great deal of pride in our work.”
