New wave of new fish shops - New Wave opens in Cirencester.

Always good to see the return of a wet fish shop to the high street (even if they source their fish from Plymouth and Loe) - though it will be a long time before we return to the days when Mac Fisheries stores were found in every significant town in the country!

From their web site: "Tim Boyd, who, in 1989, founded New Wave Seafoods, suppliers to top restaurants has teamed up with Ben Hoggett who has been a chef with a seafood background for 15 years, spending many years at Bibendum and several other London landmark restaurants. Together they are offering a full selection of responsibly-sourced fish, much of it freshly and sustainably caught by dayboats from England's coastal waters in Plymouth and Looe, as well as live shellfish, herbs, wild mushrooms, organic vegetables and gourmet produce from the world's largest and finest food market, Rungis Marché in Paris, to complement their range."

Those old enough to remember Mac Fisheries shops will find that the web, as usual, comes up with answers to all those unasked questions like - did Mac Fisheries sell their own branded beer?
