One of the finest wet fish shops - they of traditional variety - with an iced window display in an open shop front is the The Chelsea Fishmonger. The shop, along with two others around London are owned by Rex Goldsmith who sources much of his fish from the inshore boats that land to Newlyn market. Inshore boats? The shop in Chelsea provides the very best possible fish in tip-top condition (check out previous posts with cracking fish like the red mullet from the Scorpio).
Rex has just begun a blog of all things fishy connected to the shop just off the Kings Road and it's trade . In working hours you can also catch sight those Cornish fish laid out on the counter display on the shop's web cam!
Welcome to Through the Gaps, the UK fishing industry's most comprehensive information and image resource. Newlyn is England's largest fish market and where over 50 species are regularly landed from handline, trawl, net, ring net and pot vessels including #MSC Certified #Hake, #Cornish Sardine, handlined bass, pollack and mackerel. Art work, graphics and digital fishing industry images available from stock or on commission.
