In England, can I buy fresh fish directly off the boat?



Best Answer

Brixham is a traditional fishing port in Devon. Their fish market is a (mainly) wholesale operation but lists local sellers, one of which is the actual boat selling at the quayside (the link on that page is broken). Unfortunately for you, even if you're within essential travel range of Devon at the moment the boat appears to be undergoing a refit.

This does demonstrate that it's possible/legal, even if you're nowhere near Brixham.

It's rare though. There's a directory of "direct" sales (their word), some of which might be of interest (e.g. see what's been caught, have it prepared and delivered).

  • Clear, bright eyes, not sunken.
  • Bright red gills.

  • Moist skin. Really fresh fish feels slightly slippery.
  • Shiny skin with bright natural colouring.
  • Tail should be stiff and the flesh feel firm.

    Pesky is cheaper than most fishmongers, but more expensive than supermarkets. Forty years of integration into the EU means our fish is locked into a labyrinth of regulations, trade agreements and processing systems that will take years to reverse.
