The scallops were exceptional and the smoked haddock. The mussels were a disgrace a lot of damaged ones and didn’t seem totally fresh. I used to live on loch fyne so I know what good mussels are.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The fish arrived two days later than expected and looked smaller than 3.5 kg. Buying a 3.5 kg salmon is a waste of money, it is the same size as a 2.5 kg one

My first ever home delivered lobster

I received a dressed Lobster as a present. It came in a large polystyrene container and with plenty of ice, thus keeping it chilled and as fresh as can be. The lobster was large and presented very well. Tasted excellent, and I duly stripped it down to the bone. A lovely eating experience. No hesitation in recommending.

Part of the order was cancelled at 9.13 on Xmas Eve so there was no time left to replace the missing item and the order which was promised delivery early morning and defiinetly before 12noon did not arrive. Phoned shop at 12.07 pm to find out what was happening and was told that the van would drive straight to me - a 30 minute drive at the most - but it didn't arrive until 12.51. No apologies for either problem; I was just given the impression that I was simply a nuisance!

Excellent Quality and Service

Despite being let down badly by Royal Mail in their Christmas rush, the company got me a replacement order on its way promptly.
My purchase, 400grms of Irish Sea scallops, was very succulent, and most of the individual pieces were huge compared to frozen supermarket offerings. And the insulated packaging is impressive.

Great service

Great service, even a little too fast as we ordered the shrimps for delivery on 19 December to eat on Christmas Day yet they arrived yesterday on 10 December so we have had to freeze them
