I take deliveries from the coast at 3.30am and then drive to Billingsgate to buy the best of the day's catch.
Due to my experiences working at an oyster fishery near Colchester, a salmon farm in Ullapool, Scotland and on langoustine boats on the west coast of Scotland I will provide a unique retail experience.
I am the only independent fishmonger in London that has worked in all areas of the industry; I understand fully the process from catch to plate and can ensure that my customers receive only the freshest seafood, originating from well-managed and sustainable stocks.
I am as passionate about eating seafood as I am about sourcing it and I hope that I will be able to pass on to you my favourite recipes and ideas. I am always looking to learn more however, so hopefully it will be a shared exercise!
The Battersea stall sells a wide variety of shellfish, wet fish and smoked fish, below are just a few of the products you can expect to see:
- Dover Sole
- Wild Sea bass
- Salmon (Freedom foods (RSPCA) approved, I fed these fish!)
- Sardines
- Oysters
- Crab (Try my dressed crabs, you will not find better anywhere!)
- Diver-caught scallops
- Whole-smoked mackerel
Please do not hesitate to call me on 07790 605914 or email richard@murraysfreshfish.com for specific orders, whether that be as part of a weekly shop or for a social function. I will happily prepare a seafood platter for any function!
