About The Cornish Fishmonger

Written by the company

The Cornish Fishmonger from Wing of St Mawes has been sourcing and selling the freshest, highest quality fish from the Cornish quayside for nearly 40 years, and wherever you are in the UK, you can have it delivered to your door within 24 hours of landing!

Expertly and sustainably caught, you’ll be sharing the catch with some of the UK’s top chefs as well as many other top London restaurants, which we’ve been supplying for years. That doesn’t mean it comes with a hefty price tag though – it’s often better value, and certainly a lot fresher than any supermarket you’d buy your fish from.

If you’ve never ordered your seafood online before, it couldn’t be easier. Visiting our website is much like taking a trip to your local fishmonger, with the added bonus of not having to leave your home. You’ll have over 30 species of fish to choose from, and you can even decide how you want your fish to arrive - ready filleted, portioned or whole. Whether you’d like to send that certain someone a tasty gift or set up a monthly fish box order, you can do it all at the click of a button.

Simply choose when you’d like your fish to arrive, and we’ll prepare, label and package your fish, to be couriered to your door on your specified day, and don’t worry if you’re not there to take delivery, our special cold boxes will keep your seafood fresh until you get home from work.

Our service doesn’t stop there though – we’ve got an extensive range of delicious recipes for any of level of cook, as well as expert advice on preparing and cooking fish, and a handy seasonality chart showing what fish to eat when – like vegetables seafood is seasonal! Our friendly team will be on hand to help too, so just pick up the phone if you have any questions about fish.

I used to get brown shrimp

I used to get brown shrimp, such tasty little things, from Sainsburys & Ocado but not any more. The Cornish Fishmonger had them though. They arrived promptly, precisely when advised and beautifully packaged of course. They will now be a rare treat.
Thank you.

Very bad.

This was the first time of many orders I have put in to buy fish on line that the whole box arrived defrosted. I was given a refund for one item but am still out-of-pocket for the remaining £90. Such a disappointment.

Reply from The Cornish Fishmonger

I am so sorry to read of your disappointment.

With regards to delivery, I am sorry to hear that your items had arrived defrosted, however we do expect this to happen as advised on our website (where we suggest that items such as prawns may not suitable for home freezing as they will defrost in transit)

Looking at your order it would appear that all of the items that you selected were frozen, excluding the sauce and gurnard portions. Gurnard if chilled can be placed into the freezer to use at a later as they were fresh.

We have however refunded the prawns as what you have described on your direct email does not sound right. We would expect them to defrost but not to be holding this much liquid.

I am sorry again that you have been left disappointed.

I am extremely happy with my Fish Order. A good range of Fish and Shell Fish. The choice of Whole or Portions
Is especially ideal for me as I am now my own. I deal with Belinda who tries to insure that my Delivery instructions are met as I am disabled. That doesn't stop me cooking. Cheers
