Welcome to our new website. Those of you that are familiar with the business will know Jeff and Barbara well. They set up this wonderful business a number of years ago and were very much pioneers within the online market. With over 30 years direct experience of both fishing and retailing they have developed a business with a fantastic reputation.
Over the last few months both Jeff and Barbara made the decision to retire gradually, and as such the business has merged with Fish for Thought, another small Cornish Seafood business. As a whole team we are working together to manage the transition and our aim is to build on the great work done over recent years.
By linking the two businesses we are certain that we can offer an even better range of the very finest fish and seafood for our customers old and new. The business also continues to benefit from fantastic support from Jeff and Barabara for which we are very grateful!
What is special about our business?
The Best Access to FishWe specialise in sourcing the finest fresh fish for our customers. We are the only online business to have buyers at all the South West markets including: Newlyn; Looe; Plymouth; and Brixham.
We also land from our own vessels, The Resolute and The Manx Ranger, plus we have a number of direct deliveries from other local Cornish boats including Heather Anne, Lauren Kate and Lizy.
We can supply all fish to suit your needs including whole fish, headed and gutted, filleted and portioned. In fact we will prepare products however you would like us to just add a comment when buying.
Our LobstersOur speciality, recognised as the finest flavour Lobster you can buy. These are caught in the clear blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the North and South Cornish coast. Still mostly caught by small inshore boats, they command a higher price than the imported varieties. Cornish Lobsters in our opinion are simply irresistible and we can send them either live or cooked and prepared for you.
Our CrabsCornish Crab is wonderful and you cannot beat fresh hand-picked product. Our crabs are landed around the Cornish coast, mainly by small inshore boats using traditional methods. They are then cooked and picked daily to ensure the freshest and finest product reaches you.
Our ShellfishWe offer a range of shellfish both fresh and frozen working closely with like-minded suppliers who are committed to supplying only the finest products like Dave and Sue Hancock who run Fowey Seafarms and The Duchy Oyster Company at Port Navas.
Our Smoked SelectionWe work closely with award-winning smokehouse both in Cornwall and Scotland and our range includes salmon, haddock, mackerel, kippers and trout.
Our Non-Resident SpeciesWhilst we specialise in Cornish seafood, we recognise that our customers appreciate variety and that means sourcing products and species from around the world. In all cases we source the very best available and can prepare products to suit your needs. We select our suppliers very carefully and ensure that they share our commitment to quality, service and sustainability. Products include Salmon, Tuna, and Farmed Bass and Bream.
Fresh v FrozenWe specialise in Fresh Fish and Seafood, but we also recognise that customers want certain products year round and a range of frozen products. In addition when the weather is bad and fresh fish is not available frozen can be a good alternative - we have our own spiral freezer that produces IQF (individually quick frozen) products. We also offer a broad range of fantastic luxury frozen items like prawns, tiger prawns, crevettes and langoustines that are only normally available to top restaurants.
Committed to SustainabilityFish for Thought and Martins Seafresh take a proactive approach to the sustainability and environmental issues affecting our industry.
We passionately want to leave things a little better than we find them and work hard to keep improving in the areas that we can influence.
