Visit a traditional working fish shop
A purposeful trip lets you choose seafood directly and talk through how you'd like it prepared. We stock daily fresh fish, seasonal shellfish and dressed crab prepared in-house from live crabs. Customers travelling from Folkestone can call before setting out to check what is available and reserve the required quantity. If you want fish for a particular recipe, tell us whether it will be fried, baked or grilled. We can then discuss filleting, cleaning or dressing it, helping you leave with an order that is easier to cook at home.
Reserve seasonal seafood and fresh bait
Seasonal shellfish and fresh fishing bait can both sell according to supply and demand, so an advance call reduces uncertainty. Before travelling from Folkestone, tell us if you need prepared fish, dressed crab or bait for a set trip. We can confirm current stock and agree collection details where available. Once in the shop, you can also choose tackle, look at catch reports and use tide information for planning. The result is a visit focused on the food or fishing supplies you actually need.
Frequently asked questions
Can we reserve dressed crab for a day trip?
Yes, subject to seasonal crab availability. Call with the quantity and collection date so we can confirm stock and allow time for in-house preparation before you make the journey.
Will you fillet fish while preparing our order?
Filleting can be requested when you order or choose your fish. Tell us how you plan to cook it and how many people you're feeding. We can discuss the cut and preparation suitable for the species.
Is it worth calling about bait before travelling?
Yes. Fresh-bait supply can change, and certain types may be in demand. Calling lets you check availability, reserve an agreed quantity and ask about current catches or tides before setting out.
