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.

Amazing!

The crab was so fresh and amazing. Service from start to finish was easy! We couldn't get to Cornwall this year, so decided to bring Cornwall to us. We were not dissappointed!

A mixed experience so far

We've been struggling to buy good fresh fish so thought TCF sounded good. This has been a mixed experience. Our 1st meal was dressed crab, good flavour but almost all brown meat with a small sprinkling of white. Next was lemon sole and bream fried. Sole good but bream tasted a bit old. Rest of our order we froze immediately. Defrosted the haddock which smelled slightly of ammonia. Tasted ok with sauce but doubts about its freshness. Hake and fish pie mix to go. Unsure if I'll order again. Expectations not met.

Unfortunately DPD failed to deliver to the correct house and therefore never received the product. The photo DPD provided as proof of delivery was not my front door. Who knows where the delivery ended up.

High quality salmon. But packed in a messy and fiddly way: not easy to unpack.

A great all round service

Easy to use the website, and informative. Delivery is in a well packaged and insulated box with plenty of cool packs, that are reusable and recyclable. Had two orders delivered now and will definitely use the Cornish Fish Monger in the future.

Overall a great experience, but would stick to crab/ more robust fish and seafood in future.

We ordered a Large crab and a Medium crab and it was fantastic, I would definitely order the crabs again. However the Clams were less successful, a third we had to discard, I don't think they could cope with the journey/transportation on a hot summer's day (I think it didn't help that DPD didn't knock on the door, so although we were at home, we didn't realise the delivery had been made for about an hour. Overall, though a great service, but I would stick to the more robust fish/seafood for delivery. Thank you.

Very poor service

Very poor service. The order was packed so poorly that £30 of large prawns "supplied frozen" were completely defrosted and swimming in water on arrival, while a £52.50 fish was completely missing! Nothing for a dinner party tomorrow. Will have to go elsewhere.
