Easter 2025

HAPPY EASTER!

The online order book has now closed for collections over the Easter Weekend, but we will still have lots of fish and shellfish available for you to come and select from our counters. We open at 8am each morning and we'll have good availability at the start of each day, but with many people visiting we will run out of things as the morning progresses. On Friday and Saturday we will be closing at 1pm

You can send a text to 07354 849465 to find out about availability, but please bear in mind it is going to be really busy in the shop so I will respond as soon as I can but it may be 'after hours'. 

If I don't see you over the weekend, I hope you have the most wonderful Easter, and remember, we will be closed on Tuesday 22nd due to Bank Holiday Monday.

Lobster Season is coming to a close! Fewer lobsters means higher prices, and we're starting to see the slow climb to the silly-highs of late Autumn and winter. We will still have lobsters available, but because fewer are being caught we start to see less availability. Pre-ordering is highly recommended if you want a specific size or a large number of lobsters

We've become pretty famous for our lobsters, especially after being featured in BBC2's 'Cornwall - This Fishing Life' (Series 1 Episode 4 if you're interested in watching)

Over the last 9 years we have built up the most amazing, unique relationship with fisherman Andrew Stevens and we're very proud to have his lobsters in our shop. Andrew fishes out of Newlyn, placing his pots around the coast and, working in his own, hauls, packs and sends them up to Camberley for our customers to enjoy

When buying live lobsters we recommend you cook on the day of collection

Throughout the late autumn and into winter, native lobsters are harder to come by. Once the 'season' has ended and demand starts to outstrip supply, usually around late September, lobster prices start to increase rapidly with peak prices from November through to February. The 'market price' of lobsters will be monitored daily and will be reflected in the prices both online and in the shop. As the seasons move on and the lobsters start to show again, the season begins in earnest around May

No need to cook - just serve and enjoy. Perfect with our Baby New Potatoes, simply roasted with some olive oil, rosemary, lemon thyme and garlic. Also delicious with a simple mayonnaise or if you're a little more adventurous, try Potts Saffron & Thyme or Sicilian Lemon Mayo

The season is coming to an end and although we're still seeing lobsters out of Newlyn, fewer are being caught every week and so the price has started to rise. ** Remember, when lobsters are cooked, split, prepared and the claws are shelled the weight will be around 35-40% less than the weight of the original live lobster
