Fish Local

As it’s #worldfoodday2020 it’s the perfect opportunity to get yourselves down to your local fresh seafood supplier. Some of the world’s best #seafood is landed in Kent & Essex. Here is @sankeyfish chatting to @BBCNews about how great it is! facebook.com/groups/FishLoca…

Fish Local has had some wonderful support along its short journey to help the local fishing industry. Having @RosieDuffield1 mention Fish Local while addressing the house at the beginning of September was an amazing boost. Thank you. #thinkfresh #shopsmart #Fishlocalgb

@TwoSunsQualityFish in Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey. Serving quality, locally sourced and truly fresh fish to its customers. They are well worth a visit, stocked ready for a busy bank holiday weekend! #fishlocalGB #FreshFish #queenborough #fishmongerfriday

A tiny squid, a small anchovy and this seahorse! These were amongst the usual juvenile bass and herring during one weeks survey in the river Medway. The Environment agency run surveys to look at numbers of small fish as well as any new or invasive species. #survey #fishlocalGB

When it comes to mackerel it’s fresher the better. They are being caught around Kent now, local fishers are working hard to get it to you in the best condition possible. No BBQ planned but some grilled mackerel is sure to brighten your day #ThinkFresh #ShopSmart #FishLocalGB

Brill and Turbot-both flat fish, they are seen locally but not in large numbers, they are caught as a bonus bycatch when targeting other species! When cooking something new it's always good to keep it simple and appreciate their different flavour #somethingdifferent #fishlocalGB

#fishmongerfriday This week we have @JenkinsAndSon fishmongers in Deal, Kent. This mornings display has great selection of fresh and local fish. The fishmongers here are happy to help and advise you. Fish Feast for the weekend! #fishfriday #thinkfresh #shopsmart #fishlocaGB

The Thornback Ray is quite common in the Kent & Essex area. Cool fact, they are very closely related to sharks with cartilage instead of bones, really simple to cook, local and delicious. #justaddbutter #thinkfresh #shopsmart #fishlocaGB

It’s the lobster season, so be more shellfish! Our local lobsters have two types of claw, one is straight and used to cut, and the other is knobbly to grip and crush so mind your fingers! Ask for ready-cooked lobster, it’s the easiest option. #fishlocalgb #bemoreshellfish #SAGB
