We're back open for the festive period! So if you fancy some light seafood bites or need some advice on buying/cooking fish, pop in to see Alex, Flea, James and the team.

Our recipe of the month is the winter warming hake casserole with shallots and wild mushrooms. Hailing from Rick’s classic 1998 book Fruits of the Sea, it’s a really lovely dish to cook for friends and family over the festive period. Try it yourself here: https://bit.ly/34E77o7

Beautiful wild sea bass and red mullet on the counter today 😍 Stop by to see Flea and James if you’re in town.

Be sure to listen to BBC Radio 4 at 3pm tomorrow afternoon when Rick takes over for half an hour to celebrate what he loves about Cornwall. He talks fishing with our very own fishmonger Flea, art with Kurt Jackson, farming with Nicola Hooper and music with his friend Dave Brown. It should be a fab bit of radio.
