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.

Total disappointment ... partially sorted!

This is my first time ordering from this company and what a huge disappointment. First of all the delivery was delayed by a day with no ability to communicate with the delivery company as their tracking system did not work. Then when the delivery came it was a huge disappointment, left by the door although we were in. We ordered Ikg king crab claws and got a half crab! We also ordered a pack of crevettes and got shrimp, the monk fish fillet portions are an insult, tiny slivers of fish that looked liked baby squid. This was part of my hubby's big celebration meal and I feel totally let down and ripped off. None of the items were reported as being out of stock at the time of ordering and the replacements are not of equivalent value or size. I think this is so unfair and I'm shocked that this has happened. This is the first time, I've just had my order ignored and any old stock sent out. A horrible experience I'm still debating what to do.

Editing, as after my review, I got a good response from their customer service and a partial refund and the crevettes were very nice and much bigger than expected I wish the other bits were as nice but I would order crevettes from here again and hope for a better experience all round.

Dover soles arrive as fresh as daisies!

I ordered dover soles, which is a fish I love, but can't buy locally. They arrived on the day I booked for delivery and were as fresh as daisies! Absolutely delicious, ummmmmmm.
I have made many orders to the Cornish fishmonger over the years and they never fail to deliver the best quality fish despite travelling from Cornwall to Cambridgeshire. As a lover of fish, I feel so lucky to have this service.

Oysters good, prawns not

The oysters were delicious, but the frozen cooked and peeled king prawns were soggy and had little flavour
