The quality and cost of fish in this country is awful.
No, to answer your question.

If you're on the coast (guess not) I've seen news articles whereby fishermen who would normally only sell wholesale are now doing residential deliveries.

Agreed, I’ve tried all over to get decent fish. Some of the ‘desperate’ for customers Cornish fishmongers replied to emails and phone calls with one word answers. Then they expect you to order from them

Maybe that’s why they are struggling ?

We get ours from a bloke in a van who comes round every few months, forgot the name of the business...... Its all frozen but its good stuff, tend to get 2 or 3 boxes of various fillets.
That's why I'm struggling, the best I regularly get is Loch Duart salmon £24.95 per 1.2kg+ filleted side.
Last year I'd have just gone to the market but that's not happening this year.
I'd like to eat much more fish but the cost for anything decent is just silly.
Agreed. There's something very wrong with the economy for fish, considering we're an island...

Completely agree, it's really strange, its like where I live we used to have a fishmongers, but they shut down many years ago and we don't have a single fishmongers in town. Instead it seems in many places to get fish locally now, its either a pop up van or the rubbish selection from the supermarket.
So far I like the look of this place, more choice than most at decent prices.

I just wish as a country we ate loads more so we had more choice and better prices.

Sorta disagree.
Problem is fish is a highly perishable product so the price has to reflect that. More people need to eat quality fish.
yes - looks reasonable - not based in some remote seaside town where 5% of what they sell could have been landed locally.
I'd go frozen at sea option,
I don't believe taste/texture is maintained in frozen mackarel or sardines, need to be really fresh, or, I'll abstain.
There's still hope brexit might restore a supply to the uk if the eu import duty makes exporting prohibitive,
I'm all for ostracizing fisheremen for their throwback abuses, it's a national resource that is abused.

google uk fishing towns then search for fish shops in them areas that deliver nationwide.
I just googled "deliver fresh fish to your door uk" and got some hits, so theres some choices there, now just for u to check and check if any reviews or utube vids about em.

I guess it's a bit chicken and egg. Until more people eat fish the price won't come down.
But, honest question.. is fish more perishable than say beef?
