About The Cornish Fishmonger

Written by the company

The Cornish Fishmonger from Wing of St Mawes has been sourcing and selling the freshest, highest quality fish from the Cornish quayside for nearly 40 years, and wherever you are in the UK, you can have it delivered to your door within 24 hours of landing!

Expertly and sustainably caught, you’ll be sharing the catch with some of the UK’s top chefs as well as many other top London restaurants, which we’ve been supplying for years. That doesn’t mean it comes with a hefty price tag though – it’s often better value, and certainly a lot fresher than any supermarket you’d buy your fish from.

If you’ve never ordered your seafood online before, it couldn’t be easier. Visiting our website is much like taking a trip to your local fishmonger, with the added bonus of not having to leave your home. You’ll have over 30 species of fish to choose from, and you can even decide how you want your fish to arrive - ready filleted, portioned or whole. Whether you’d like to send that certain someone a tasty gift or set up a monthly fish box order, you can do it all at the click of a button.

Simply choose when you’d like your fish to arrive, and we’ll prepare, label and package your fish, to be couriered to your door on your specified day, and don’t worry if you’re not there to take delivery, our special cold boxes will keep your seafood fresh until you get home from work.

Our service doesn’t stop there though – we’ve got an extensive range of delicious recipes for any of level of cook, as well as expert advice on preparing and cooking fish, and a handy seasonality chart showing what fish to eat when – like vegetables seafood is seasonal! Our friendly team will be on hand to help too, so just pick up the phone if you have any questions about fish.

Delivery Rubbish.

We are so sorry that DPD have let us down Mr Craven and for the difficult position this left you in.

We were aware that DPD delivered to an incorrect address on Friday afternoon and did everything we possibly could at our end to ensure this was rectified by DPD as soon as possible. Unfortunately DPD failed to do this. As per our conversation on Friday and this morning, we processed a full refund back to your card on Friday afternoon.

I am again so sorry that you were let down by our courier.

Mixed bag

Enjoyed the lobster and the prawns and mussels. Oysters were excellent. Will use the clams in a pasta dish. Disappointed to receive loads of spider crab legs in place of crab or crab claws. They really don’t give up their meat very willingly. The pouches were a nice touch but the labels are confusing. It was all defrosted when arrived but some of the items said suitable for freezing and it may not be obvious they have already been frozen. Also the expiry dates on the pouches presumably relate to if still frozen but this is not clear.

Great food, delivered on time and at a great price! Out of 3kgs of mussels we had only 3 that were unresponsive and had to be discarded. Really very tasty, highly recommended.
