Retail and event orders

Supplementary sourcing supports choice when local landings are limited.
Fresh seafood for meals and larger gatherings
We supply fresh fish and seasonal shellfish for everyday meals, celebrations and pre-arranged events. The right order depends on how the seafood will be served, how many people you're feeding and the preparation you want completed. Customers travelling from Hastings can call ahead to check seasonal stock, reserve quantities and request filleting or dressing. This is particularly helpful when the meal depends on a specific species or you need enough fish, crab, lobster or prawns for a larger group.
Plan trade supply around practical details
Hotels, restaurants and other trade buyers can discuss wholesale seafood quantities before collection. When enquiring from Hastings, provide the required species, preparation, quantity, order frequency and preferred collection schedule. We use daily local catches alongside supplementary sourcing to support a varied selection, although seasonal availability still applies. Advance contact lets us confirm what's practical and discuss alternatives where needed. Collection is then organised around the agreed order rather than relying on retail stock being sufficient for trade use.
Frequently asked questions
Can households place larger seafood orders?
Yes. Larger household or event orders can be discussed by telephone. Give us the date, number of diners, preferred products and menu style so we can check stock and consider suitable quantities.
What should a wholesale enquiry include?
Provide the preferred species, whole or prepared format, required quantity, likely order frequency and collection schedule. These details help us assess current availability and explain any practical alternatives.
Does every trade order need advance notice?
Advance contact is strongly recommended for wholesale quantities and prepared fish. Seasonal supply and preparation time can affect what is possible, so orders should be agreed before you travel to collect.
