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.

A mixed catch

First delivery from The Cornish Fishmonger having used Fish For Thought for several years. Delivery time was excellent but felt that the items were not as cold as in the past . Also unlike before, there were no helpful leaflets enclosed regarding cooking suggestions. Not sure if this was accidental or deliberate. Frozen fish selection was ok but not great and certainly seen better lobsters. the oysters were very good so all in all a mixed " catch"

The fish looks great

The fish looks great. All packets were still very cold, even though the order arrived at 5.45pm. Unfortunately there was a fishy smell around the box and my voucher was wet with fishy water.
I have yet to taste the product but it looks very good.

Faultless

Everything about this company was great. I ordered a royal fillet of salmon for a dinner party and realised afterwards that I'd need it delivered before midday to ensure I got it in time.
When I called, they were marvellous to deal with and the fish itself was absolutely superb.
I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone and everyone.

Fast but not everything high quality

The fish and lobster arrived promptly with good communication and well refrigerated. The turbot was excellent. The lobster was disappointing. The Cornish Fishmonger responded to our concerns quickly and sorted it out.

Great fish delivered within hours.

I saw it online, I thought fresh crab straight from the harbour was a great idea. I ordered it and received it within 48 hours. It was wonderfully fresh and well prepared. I could not be more impressed and I will be ordering again and again.
