Christmas Seasonal
It's 43 days until Christmas!
With five Christmases already under our belts, we’re getting pretty good at preparing for our busiest week of the year and Christmas planning starts very early at the Fish Shop. From freshly cooked lobsters and crabs to beautifully presented Seafood Platters, a lot of people rely on us to supply them with the most delicious products to impress their friends and families over the festive period. You can download a copy of this years’ Christmas Leaflet featuring some of our customers’ favourites, details on availability and our opening times Christmas 2019
We really do prefer to talk you through your order, especially if you haven’t visited us before, so please feel free to pop in or give us a call on 01276 66618 and we can help you with your choices. Our order book opens on 12th November and we’ll be taking orders up until Tuesday 17th December.
With fresh fish and shellfish, it really must be prepared ‘in the moment’, and our little team will be hard at work throughout the night leading into Christmas Eve to make sure everything picked up on the 24th can be enjoyed on Christmas Day or Boxing Day. Just let us know what you’d like and when you’re planning to eat it and we will advise you on the best options for collection.
Christmas is always challenging for fishmongers and fish lovers alike. Forward planning is critical to ensure you manage to get all your ‘must haves’ over the festive season. The closer we get to the big day, the harder it is to source our usual stunning selection of wild caught fish and shellfish. The very last coastal market of the year is on Friday 20th December, meaning we will receive very limited supplies after this date. The Newlyn catch is sold by auction, with fish going to the highest bidder and the price of premium wild caught fish and shellfish always increase dramatically over Christmas as demand outstrips supply.
All our wild caught Cornish Fish is perfectly suitable for freezing and we highly recommend that you consider buying your fish at least a week or two before and popping it into the freezer. If you leave it till the very last few days, your specific choice of fish may not be available. We can prepare and vacuum pack everything for you – the quality will still be outstanding, and it means that you won’t have to worry about lack of availability and fluctuating prices as we head into Christmas week
